There is usually an order to how you evacuate people. Like when a boat goes down it is supposed to be women and children first on the lifeboats. So when our military was evacuating Americans it should have been Americans first as they are the ones that are supposed to be leaving the country in the first place and then allies and refugees. But we somehow took 122000 people out of the country and only 5500 were Americans. There is no reason that we were not able to get every American out. So now as we have numerous Americans stuck in Afghanistan and Biden is looking to start focusing on, what he hopes will be future Dems— I mean Afghan refugees. He wants to spend billions on the refugees, to vet them, house them, and fast-track their U.S. Citizenship.
“…the administration is also requesting additional money to address what administration officials called urgent needs: the response to natural disasters as well as the relocation of thousands of Afghan allies after the Taliban took over the country as the U.S. withdrew last month.
The administration is seeking $6.4 billion for sites to process Afghan allies overseas and in the U.S. as well as for security screenings and humanitarian assistance. An administration official said the funding request will support plans for as many as 65,000 vulnerable Afghans to arrive in the U.S. by the end of September and up to 30,000 additional Afghans over the following 12 months.
That money includes $2.4 billion for the Defense Department; $1.3 billion for the State Department, for help with refugee resettlement; $815 million for USAID, for humanitarian assistance; $193 million for the Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, to ramp up its capacity to process Afghans and put them on the pathway to legal permanent residence; and $1.7 billion for the Health and Human Services Department to help Afghans build new lives in the U.S.
“The operation to move out of danger and to safety tens of thousands of Afghans at risk, including many who helped us during our two decades in Afghanistan, represents an extraordinary military, diplomatic, security, and humanitarian operation by the U.S. Government,” White House Office of Budget Management Acting Director Shalanda Young wrote Tuesday.”
If only this kind of effort was spent on the welfare of Americans, you know the people Biden is supposed to be leading.
