Heroic Afghan Translator Of Medal of Honor Recipient Unable To Get Asylum In America

Meyer won the Medal of Honor, while two other Americans received the Navy Cross. Meanwhile, for his own willingness to sacrifice his life for American troops, Hafez has been put on the Taliban’s “most wanted” list and assigned to American bureaucratic purgatory.

Now Hafez is on the Talibans most wanted list and can't get Asylum in the U.S.

And we get more democratic votes.

A sudden influx of illegal immigrants from Mexico requesting asylum is overwhelming immigration agents in San Diego, forcing agencies to rent hotel rooms for some undocumented families and release others to cities around the U.S. illegal immigrants have learned they can attempt to get asylum by using a few key words -- namely, by claiming they have a "credible fear" of drug cartels.

1. His visa was denied during vetting.

2. Multiple examples of taliban members killing their own to blend in with the enemy.

3. The taliban, or what the media likes to call the taliban are not one group. Taliban group a wants to kill taliban group b, which both want to kill taliban group c.

let the state deprtment do their job, instead of fox news making false controversy over something only kniwing 10% of the information.

An old adage comes to mind. Believe none of what you hear, and half of what you see.

Has the opening poster ever been to Afghanistan? I wonder.

"Let the State Department do their job" would have sounded better had Benghazi not happened.

Even if he was a Taliban spy? How do you know? Did you vet him? General Dunbar didnt, simply made the recommendation that the state department look into it. They did, denied his entry. Coukd there be a reason? We do let Afghans in that have helped us. What, do yall think there is a special vendetta against this one guy?

what makes more sense? He was denied entry because we discovered something about him? Or that the president has it out for thiss one guy.

The Taliban and CIA are one and the same, this man is fine. He may be isolated or killed, simply because he knows too much, the raid was a psyops. Bin Laden died in 2001. Jokes on you. Same reason many of the Seal Team have had fatal accidents since this raid, tying up loose strings.

Well I don't know this particular situation but history shows that yes if you help America they will leave you behind. It isn't a characteristic of individual Americans, but it has historically been a characteristic of the American government to make and break alliances at will. There are many examples of America getting involved in some foreign situation, then the political winds at home change, and we abandon our former allies to twist in the wind.

It's sad and shameful from a moral and ethical perspective, but perhaps unavoidable given the nature of politics. We aren't the only nation to do this, it's just more prominent and more often with us since we're a world power rather than just the regional power that most countries are.

As far as asylum and illegals, Hillary said herself there is no such thing as an illegal to these people in power. They want open borders, and are no longer enforcing border policy. They are just doing enough to fool the populace into thinking we have security, you have none.

Security in a truly free society is always an illusion.
