Canada has accepted and settled over 4,000 Afghanis, mostly "friendlies" (and family)from Canada's Kandahar days. There is pressure to accept even more. There doesn't appear to be much pushback from Canadians, we're all immigrants, obviously except for the indiginous population.
I live in a county that has a population of .7 Wyomings 45 miles NW of Times Square, yet we can't keep more than one Indian restaurants open. Afghan food would be right out, even though I'd be interested in trying it.
A Vietnamese refugee settled in The OC in the '70s and built an empire of donut shops, and helped other Vietnamese refugees along the way. (I only go to shops with pink boxes. You should too.)I see great things in the future.

I still resent the paucity of taco trucks, very bitterly.
That would pay for over a year where I am now.
And no talk from the GQP about him being 'suddenly presidential' ('cause he already was....)
