Import more Afghans? What could possibly go wrong?
American Thinker ^ | 15 Nov. 2026 | Mike McDaniel

Biden’s handlers' Afghanistan withdrawal debacle in 2021 is largely forgotten by many Americans, even though it was only five years ago. Photographs of desperate Afghans falling from cargo aircraft, the horror of 13 American soldiers killed and Joe Biden checking his watch as their caskets were unloaded on American soil, the $50 billion in arms and other material left behind--all of that forgotten.

So too is the fact that Biden’s handlers allowed some 200,000 Afghans, unvetted, into America. These were almost entirely third-world Islamic tribesmen, people as far from American culture as it’s possible to be, yet they were brought into America and, without notice to any community, spread across the country. More than 70,000 were given Special Immigrant Visas—SIVs--and automatic green cards. We have no idea where they are, who they are, or what they’re doing.

And now, despite the warnings of whistleblowers and uncontrolled visa corruption, Congress is being lobbied to fly in even more Afghans:

At least four of Joe Biden’s Afghan evacuees have been arrested on terrorism charges.

It was a year ago this month that one of the evacuees allegedly ambushed two members of the West Virginia National Guard in Washington, DC, fatally shooting Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, and grievously injuring Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24.

Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, who entered the US in September 2021 as part of the “Operation Allied Welcome” evacuation from Kabul, pleaded not guilty on all charges over the Nov. 26 attack and is in federal custody awaiting trial.

He was on “humanitarian parole” waiting for SIV approval when he allegedly committed those crimes. But that attack wasn’t all of his crimes:

He had entered the US in September 2021 during the chaotic Biden administration Kabul evacuation effort. He pleaded guilty to material support to ISIS

If they hate American culture and will do all they can to disrupt the lives of average Americans, the DSA will actively recruit them to come here.

Of course he pleaded not guilty - he doesn't see anything wrong with killing American infidels, especially military who "fight against Muslims."

"The command to 'kill them wherever you find them' applies to those who fight against Muslims and it mandates that hostilities cease if the enemy repents or seeks peace."

At that time, some veterans were supposedly going back into the lion’s den to bring out Afghan interpreters and others they thought worthy of the effort.

I have no idea how that all turned out. But I do remember photos of a C-17 full of nothing but military-age Afghan men.

I can’t imagine much good ultimately coming out of any of that.

So the Fall of Kabul makes sense now. We have an excuse to fly in new voters for the Democratic Party.

The right thing to do is to find them homes in Dubai and send them some $$$$ so they can find new accommodations.

But no, we did not do that.
