| 'Saving Afghan Interpreters' Is A Scam That Would Bring 100,000 Afghans To U.S. |
| 2021-07-28 |
| [Sultan Knish] - Getting the United States out of Afghanistan is relatively easy compared to getting Afghanistan out of America. The latest stage of the withdrawal is accompanied by frantic calls to "save Afghan interpreters" coming from the same media that also wants us out of Afghanistan. But what’s the use of leaving Afghanistan if we’re going to bring it with us to America? The "interpreter" scam is one of the longest running immigration hoaxes on record. Before the withdrawal, there were some 2,500 American soldiers in Afghanistan. After the withdrawal, there are around 600 soldiers left behind. And there are 20,000 Afghan "interpreters" applying for SIVs or Special Immigrant Visas. How can there be 20,000 interpreters for 2,500 soldiers? It’s not as if we haven’t been handing out SIV visas like candy already.

| #2 But what’s the use of leaving Afghanistan if we’re going to bring it with us to America? Leaving Afghanistan was Trump's idea, and would have been performed in an orderly, non disgraceful way. This charlie foxtrot has DEM-OH-CRAT written all over it. How many Kurds/Yazidis/Christians were airlifted out after the ISIS war? But it's important to get all of Ghani's boys out because a) They know much about what was really interpreted out there and you can't ensure they will be killed before talking to the media. And b) It's an escape plan already paid for, and the ┠officials just kept their end of the bargain. |
