The State Department said it is widening the scope of Afghans eligible for refugee status in United States to include current and former employees of U.S.-based news organizations, U.S.-based aid and development agencies and other relief groups that receive U.S. funding. Current and former employees of the U.S. government and the NATO military operation who don’t meet the criteria for a dedicated program for such workers are also covered.
Relief agencies said Monday’s gesture was insufficient, pointing out significant, and in some cases insurmountable, hurdles that successful applicants would face. InterAction, an umbrella organization for scores of international relief and development groups, was highly critical. “The U.S. objective remains a peaceful, secure Afghanistan,” the department said in a statement. “However, in light of increased levels of Taliban violence, the U.S. government is working to provide certain Afghans, including those who worked with the United States, the opportunity for refugee resettlement to the United States.”
They need to go to Mexico first then it’s just a hop skip and a jump over the border to Biden/Harris heaven.
They need to wise up and find the southern border and just walk across
What about the future of the Afghan government and it's imminent collapse, what about the Afghani people whom are likely to stay?
This isn’t sufficient. They’ll be dead from the Taliban long before this works. We need to evacuate them ASAP to the US.
Because, of course.
How about they stand and fight?
I was born 3 years after the fall of Saigon. I've read countless books and watched/listened to immeasurable amounts of content on what happened in '75. This feels tragically similar.
Fleeing the Talibans seriously r u kidding me , Taliban r just few thousand evil thugs why usa getting afraid of them . Why usa not dropping good for nothing USA bomb's on them . Why usa have all this bombs and weapons and good for nothing army . What a joke this world has become

Good, they put their lives on the line for our military members. We must protect them and their families.
Just like the 'yards in viet nam. Use em, lose em.
They should go to mexico and just walk across the border
Wow. USA FTW...?
Amazing
What is so disappointing to me is seeing the anti-immigrant Trump cult hating on this Afghan translators. They helped our military service members. They deserve to be safe. 🇺🇸
