Following the Biden-Harris administration\u2019s disastrous handling of the situation in Afghanistan, the pro-mass-migration left is not allowing<\/a> \u201ca serious crisis to go to waste.\u201d The radical leftists, including members of the so-called \u201cSquad\u201d \u2013 always the cheerleaders of unchecked mass migration regardless of circumstances \u2013 are taking advantage of the Afghanistan crisis to virtue signal and call for bringing in as many Afghans, and other nationals as well, into the U.S. as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an August 26 letter<\/a> to President Biden, 66 congressional Democrats called for the administration to raise the Fiscal Year 2022 refugee admissions cap to \u201cno less than 200,000.\u201d The signatories include Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Barbara Lee of California, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Jesus \u201cChuy\u201d Garcia of Illinois, and Joaquin Castro of Texas. The letter also urges the White House to \u201cexpand humanitarian parole to provide refuge to vulnerable Afghans who are in grave danger following the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the representatives\nmention Ethiopia, Lebanon, Haiti, and \u201cclimate change,\u201d demonstrating that\nAfghanistan is serving as a pretext to a larger importation of refugees from\nall over the world. And, characteristically, the radical leftist members of\nCongress dismiss any skepticism towards their plan as \u201cracist, virulent\nanti-refugee and anti-immigrant sentiment,\u201d and argue that the best response is\nto \u201cdouble down on our efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictably, the letter\nalso fails to mention Biden\u2019s catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan, but\nrather argues that America must take in as many refugees\/evacuees as possible\nbecause of \u201ca 20-year U.S. military intervention and 40 years of U.S.\ninvolvement in the war.\u201d The Democratic representatives thus ignore the fact\nthat our presence in Afghanistan did not materialize out of nothing, but,\nrather, was the direct result of the Taliban\u2019s hosting of the radical Islamist\nterrorist group al-Qaeda, responsible for the September 11, 2001 terrorist\nattacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subsequently, the U.S.\nwas not an occupying power in Afghanistan, but was assisting the Afghans\nagainst the Taliban. They also seem unaware that U.S. \u201cinvolvement\u201d during the\n1980s consisted of helping Afghan anti-communist insurgents resist a Soviet\ninvasion. But why delve into historical context when it is easier to simply\nblame America and use moral blackmail to justify the mass migration agenda?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following day, Representative Omar also published an op-ed on CNN<\/a>, which emphasized the same points, but from a more personal perspective. The Somalia-born Omar, who originally came to the U.S. with her family as a child refugee, urges that \u201c[m]uch like we did in the wake of Vietnam, we must allow Afghan citizens to emigrate here immediately using national interest waivers and humanitarian parole,\u201d and that \u201c[w]e should not let paperwork and bureaucracy be a death sentence,\u201d thereby seemingly suggesting that we allow in as many Afghans as possible without doing the proper and necessary vetting<\/a>. After all, what could possibly go wrong?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Rep. Omar\u2019s credit,\nshe calls upon \u201cour NATO allies and neighboring countries to do their part,\u201d\nbut she makes it clear that the U.S. must play the primary role in hosting\nAfghan refugees and evacuees. But wait, there\u2019s more, because \u201cAfghanistan is\nnot the only test. Central America, Haiti, Syria, Libya, and countries around\nthe world are currently facing large-scale human rights crises and need our\nhelp.\u201d And, of course, there are also \u201cclimate migrants.\u201d She then asserts that\n\u201c[w]e should be leading a global migration compact, which would provide global\nfunding to address the migrant crisis and establish clear benchmarks for each\nnation to take in refugees.\u201d In other words, Ms. Omar wants to arm-twist\nsovereign nations into kowtowing to the mass migration agenda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But perhaps the most ironic part of her op-ed is that Omar, a politician who has been accused of anti-Semitism<\/a>, is framing skepticism towards mass migration and large-scale refugee resettlement as a repeat of \u201cthe nativism and hate that sentenced thousands of people to death in the run-up to the Holocaust.\u201d Of course, this is not surprising because the pro-mass-migration lobby routinely resorts to similar strawman<\/a> attacks to distract from the radicalism of their own proposals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two above pieces \u2013 the letter signed by 66 congressional Democrats and the Omar op-ed \u2013 are a prime example of the \u201clet them all in\u201d left\u2019s attempts to mislead the American public by framing the issue in binary terms: either allow hundreds of thousands of people in the United States or you are heartless and do not care about refugees. This is a false dichotomy. There is no question that we should help certain Afghans who assisted us during our presence in the Central Asian country. Those who fought against the Taliban alongside us should receive the Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) they were promised. Others, including those who provided some kind of material support to us, or would simply prefer not to live under the Taliban, ought to be helped closer to their home. Thus, we should negotiate with countries in the region to host Afghan refugees<\/a> while we \u2013 and our NATO allies \u2013 offer logistical and financial assistance. That is the way to go if we want to help as many people as possible<\/a> rather than simply virtue signal or exploit the crisis to promote the mass migration agenda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
