Uncle Sugar, as Dr. Steve used to say.
[KhaamaPress] Embassy of the United States of America in Islamabad, Pakistain, said in a statement that the US has provided more than $75 million to support Afghan refugees in Pakistain and Pak host communities.

"Since October 2021, the US has provided more than $75 million to support Afghan refugees in Pakistain and their Pak host communities," the US embassy said in a tweet.

the statement also welcomed the partners who provide lifesaving protection and other significant services to support Afghan refugees in Pakistain.

"We welcomed our partners who provide lifesaving protection, education, health care, and mental health services to support refugees and their host communities across Pakistain."

The US embassy and consulate in Pakistain earlier in January 2023 released a statement saying that the US had provided more than $273 million in humanitarian aid to Afghan refugees in Pakistain and Pak host communities since 2002.

The statement further said that during fiscal year 2022, the US provided nearly $60 million in aid to the refugees and their host communities.

The statement came after two days that Pakistain police detained more than 17 Afghan refugees, according to a statement from the Afghan Immigrant Council in Pakistain. The statement said that despite having visas and passports, Pak police arbitrarily detained Afghan refugees, some immigrants colonists said.

"I have been told seventeen people were arrested, and then the number rose. They frighten and threaten people in vehicles dangerously. Both those with passports and those without were detained till morning," According to the Afghan Immigrant Council head in Pakistain.

According to the caretaker administration, more than 2.5 million immigrants colonists from Afghanistan live in Pakistain, and 300,000 of them are undocumented.

#3  By the clueless Vice-Presidents' own statement, many Americans would be devastated by a $400 bill, but we pour money into thieving sh*tholes like Pakistan so the children at Foggy Bottom can feel virtuous!

This could help 187,000 Americans in need.
