This can't be right

The US is deporting Afghans back to be killed by the Taliban? These Afghan refugees were the allowed to come here because they assisted US efforts in Afghanistan and they likely would have been killed had they stayed. Similar to South Vietnam refugees when the North took Saigon.

If there is any refugee group more deserving of being here, its these Afghan folks who assisted the US war effort. What am I missing here because this seems insane to me.

 
Typical SMF bull crap
The program was for temporary status. We are HELPING them get home. They are going there to die?? You are close to the biggest moron on here.

"Noem said in a statement that the conditions in Afghanistan have improved sufficiently to warrant the program’s termination"

Oh, the dog killer with too much filler said that? Its good then, right?

Buddy boy, they assisted the American war effort and were fleeing death or imprisonment from a brutal Taliban regime. They CANT go home. They are seen as traitors and will likely be killed or imprisoned.

Can you name a refugee group more deserving a being here than folks who literally assisted the US military during a time of war?

I guess Texas US Rep Michael McCall is a crazy lefty because he said:

"The Taliban “have made their thirst for retribution against those who helped the United States clear,” McCaul said. “Until they demonstrate clear behavioral changes, I urge the administration to continue prioritizing the safety of the Afghan men and women who risked their lives to help our troops.”

This is maybe the worst decision made by the Trump administration on anything. These people helped the US and we are sending them to possible death. Meanwhile, we let in a bunch of white farmers because a farmer was killed in a random attack by a criminal a couple years ago and the South African government has a plan to take their land though it hasn't happened yet. There is no "genocide."

Actually, all democrats care about is power. Since Trump and the Republicans currently have it, they must disagree with everything he is doing. They have gone so low as to stick up for illegals who are committing serious crimes. They have taken common sense and thrown it out the window. They are sick in every way, but, somehow they try to convince Americans that they are right about everything. I hope they continue their nonsense. If they do, it will be a long time before we see them regain power.

I actually don't want to employ afghani to kill people then bring them to our country forever as a reward
That's what I was wondering about. Motivation matters. I would vett Afghanis in this situation rather than deport them en masse. SMF raises a fair point of concern IMO
 
You and I agree here. Totally.

And I’m sure there’s more than what Politiko is sharing.

The only thing I can think of is that maybe these are like cousins, aunts, uncles of the Afghans who were employed by the US government. Or maybe they had fake papers that got them here. We need more information because there's no way we can deport former US Government employees/contractors.

I heard the taliban is not so much a terrorist groups these days, and more of an ensemble theatrical troupe

quite the odd deal, to fight a war for someone, then continuously reapply for temporary protected status instead of obtaining a longterm solution. maybe some dei govt employee was telling them why temporary was the best solution and they should go for that one, then keep applying, forever.

Well, I wasn't aware of this being the situation. Thanks.

I'd presume there were Afghanis who just helped Americans for money, but also those who were patriotic Afghanis who wanted their country to adopt democratic ideals and therefore assisted the American soldiers. Those of the latter persuasion who want to become Americans and embrace our culture (at least the good parts) should be rewarded with a chance for citizenship.

That's what the SIVs are for


If they aren't qualified for that they can seek asylum, but if they got kicked out of the taliban for a week of US service, tough luck

So, even if these Aghanis only helped the Americans for money, that is still a pretty big deal. I dont think we can say: "you only helped us for the money, now go back." For me, the deal has to be the same as in Vietnam. If you were "Team USA" during the war, you get American citizenship if the opponents eventually take over the country. That seems more than fair. You won't find a more deserving group of immigrants than folks who literally helped the American war effort.

Were they helping us? I seem to remember North Vietnam was at war with South Vietnam and we were helping them.

I refuse to believe you MAGA guys on here are entirely devoid of common sense and reason. Sticking up for adhering to the Constitution and for Rule of Law isn't sticking up for illegals. Get rid of all of them, but do it within the bounds of existing law and process. This is America, not some tin pot dictatorship......yet.

We decided to make the Vietnamese Civil War our own war to stop the spread of Communism so at that point it was US (with some help from South Vietnam) vs North Vietnam + Viet Cong. So yes, many South Vietnamese helped us with what became our war.

Nice spin. 👋
