President Joe Biden may be the first president to singlehandedly create two humanitarian disasters in year one. The first is the well-documented, historic crisis at our southern border<\/a>. The second is the botched exit from Afghanistan, which has led to a refugee crisis<\/a> from a terrorist hotbed. Both situations are tragic and could have been avoided. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing is clear, however, and that is that the United States must live up to its obligation to protect American citizens and those Afghans who provided essential support to our boots on the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program applicants who served as interpreters deserve special consideration. As the program as a whole is deeply-flawed,<\/a> the vetting should not be improperly accelerated. These applicants are also being leveraged by mass immigration advocates to push for general population admissions in the hundreds of thousands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mass relocation to the U.S.\nshould be a nonstarter \u2013 pointing this out should not be conflated with\nopposition to the evacuation and eventual resettlement of deserving SIV applicants.\nThis is something that Republicans must quickly realize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, we cannot allow a foreign policy debacle to be exploited by the Biden administration and congressional Democrats to further their policies of unchecked migration. To truly address this avoidable refugee crisis, the United States must explore alternatives to wholesale resettlement here at home \u2013 this includes working with neighboring governments and aiding international efforts to assist people in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the wake of the Afghanistan\ndebacle, further stressing our borders also poses an even greater threat to\nnational security. Within hours of the Taliban\u2019s takeover of Kabul, the Pentagon\nwarned<\/a> that Afghanistan could once again become a base of operations for\nterrorist groups aiming to strike America. Additionally, more than 5,000\nprisoners who had were held at our base in Bagram \u2013 including Al-Qaeda fighters\n\u2013 have been set free, many of whom desire taking retribution against Americans\nat home and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In light of the Pentagon\u2019s\nfrightening assessment, securing our borders \u2013 rather than adding to the\nexisting chaos \u2013 must be the top priority on Capitol Hill when it comes to\nimmigration. The nation cannot afford to have policymakers yield to the\npolitical agenda of the Democratic Party\u2019s radical fringe, and again ignore the\nwarnings of our top military and intelligence officers. The stakes are simply\ntoo high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Democrats in Congress must not only distance themselves from President Biden\u2019s foreign policy failure, but put an end to their effort to enact an the largest amnesty<\/a> in American history. They should ditch the budget reconciliation amnesty effort and instead embrace the public consensus that our borders must be secured. Time is running out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
