When Joe Biden ordered troops to leave Afghanistan, thousands of Afghans were lucky to be evacuated to the United States while others remain there under Taliban rule. But some of those refugees dumped into California are struggling to find housing in a state already in a housing crisis, and help getting settled in a new country is lacking.
More than 2,900 refugees have landed in the California cities of Sacramento, Oakland, San Jose, and Turlock, where the International Rescue Committee (IRC) — the main organization helping the refugees — has offices.
Not to mention that these refugees are also competing with Americans for jobs and social services.
