Cry me a river. I am sick of the US importing millions of refugees from all the countries we have been at war with. Most of them would have ended up impoverished ghetto dwellers here in the US and their kids would have been gang bangers and terrorists. The Taliban is right: their doctors end up as dishwashers here. They have better prospects in their own country, with their own culture, and their English language skills.

Biden’s administration have stated they will continue working to get those left behind out. How?
Biden Administration is lying. They’re just hoping we will forget about it.

I saw an interview with an Afghan interpreter who lives in Houston saying her family in Afghanistan got a letter posted on the door from the Taliban saying they were to come to their office and to make this woman return home to go to the Taliban. They even threatened her and others here saying they would get to them here. Sounds like her family will not make it, and probably cannot expect help from our government.

Ultimately, Trump shooting off his mouth and giving the Taliban the opportunity to walk in. When whole parts of Afghan Military were allowed to just dissolve due to Trump's negotiation.

History will be on Biden's side.
Isn’t Biden president? Didn’t Biden make the order? Did Biden listen to his military advisers? You can blame Trump till the end times, but joe made the order, the responsibility lies with him.

Do you want to live under leadership of the taliban?

Not all immigrants are the same.

Some potential immigrants did the US a big ****ing favor in Afghanistan by working as interpreters.

We owe those potential immigrants safe passage to somewhere where the Taliban won't round them up, torture and kill them, perhaps the US.

Other potential immigrants, the sort that enter the country illegally, are not owed a debt of gratitude because they didn't help us, have no in-demand skills and are only here to sponge off our bloated welfare system.

See how that's different?

The Taliban said the boy was passing messages to the military and vice versa. It was pure evil.
I cant find this any where on the internet

I take with grain of salt.

What I did find is refutes of Taliban hanging someone from a US helicopter

We have worse.

At the rate we are going the next pres will be a zoophile cannibal.
Many of Trump's policies were positive - he was, and still is, not the most personable person in the world. But he got things done. Now Biden has totally undone all the good things that Trump started (but he still hung on to the May 1 Afghanistan pullout to use as an excuse).

Biden has done absolutely nothing positive for the country.

Biden is a pos.
Maybe if Trump had processed those 17,000 SIV applications, some of them would be out by now.
