After hearing people blame the Afghan refuge situation on Trump, I figured I would post a few links on some stories of some issues I learned on some of the problems in taking them in (besides the usual security concerns).
I would say, this is actually more of a problem because the way we ended up doing the withdrawal, the people who actually had background checks were largely left behind, while the people we did take were folks who were hanging around the Airport hoping to catch a flight out and were largely unvetted (Yet another thing that Trump or nearly anybody else would have done differently).

1) Child Brides is the big issue being researched now with the new refugees.
Growing fears child brides brought to US in Afghan evacuation
2) The Popularity of Sharia Law (Which is not really compatible with Western Society).
PolitiFact - Trump mostly correct about Sharia law support in Afghanistan
99% Afghanis prefer making Sharia the law of the land: Pre-Taliban survey by Pew Research shows
3) Child Abuse prevalent in culture especially concerning young boys. This was something I learned 13 years ago to my horror with the movie "The Kite Runner".
