In Pittsburgh, Jewish Family and Community Services (JFCS) has begun to resettle one family and is preparing for two more families that recently evacuated Afghanistan, said Ivonne Smith-Tapia, director of refugee and immigrant services for the Squirrel Hill-based JFCS.

In southcentral Pennsylvania, Church World Service Lancaster has sent four employees to Virginia’s Fort Lee military base, the first U.S. stop for some of the Afghan interpreters and other refugees, said Rachel Helwig, development and communications coordinator for CWS Lancaster.

Once called “America’s refugee capital” by BBC News, Lancaster has a strong resettlement history and a network of agencies and organizations to get refugees into homes and jobs. CWS Lancaster, a resettlement agency, has informed its global organization that it will take on some of the Afghan people fleeing their country.

CWS Lancaster is approved this fiscal year to resettle 141 people. Since 1987, it has helped refugees from more than 27 countries.

“We have been diligently preparing for the imminent arrival of Afghan refugees,” Fogarty said. “DHS’ role helps provide stability and provide access to high quality employment, medical and mental health screening, support services, and case management for up to 60 months post-arrival.”

The Amish have been steadily fleeing the area for the past 20 years or so due to the influx of Mexican illegals in the area. 40 years ago, Lancaster was a nice, clean, homey kind of little town, but now it's getting more like Jersey City on steroids.

motherfucking monsters who do that to people need to die. A doctor who unknowingly does that to a patient is just as guilty, as he has the obligation to do the research on what he's injecting. They all need to die a slow, painful death just like their victims.

A lot of Amish are moving to my neck of the woods, still very good people around here, voted 86% for Trump. We've always had some Amish going back 200 years, but it's really grown recently. Good people, good clean farms.
