Nebraska: Afghans Descending on the State (and your state too!)

My alerts are full to overflowing with news about when and where the Biden Administration is distributing the Afghan evacuees.  The ‘how’ of it all is a bit tricky because the entire refugee program (the Afghans aren’t refugees!) is in disarray as I reported here a few days ago.
