I'd say he's definitely worthy of asylum in the States. The man has more than earned it.

NEW YORK -- An Afghan man's heroism inspired a movie as he risked it all to save in American, but he himself has become the one in need, CBS News York reports.
Mohammed Gulab is a simple Afghan villager, but he is as brave a hero as there is. Just ask Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, whose life Gulab saved at great personal peril.
"He very well could have just left me laying there on the side of that waterfall and let me die," Luttrell said. "But he didn't."

I saw that in the movie.
That’s all the information I have on this matter.
If that is the way it went down, bring him here.
He saved someone that Obama hates. That’s not good for him.
I'd say he's definitely worthy of asylum in the States. The man has more than earned it.
Let him in!
Awesome!
Thank you, I really appreciate the information.
He protected one of ours, we do the same for him.
Hell, if he can get to Mexico he’s in.
The Obama administration simply ushered in 58000 Guatemalans this summer.
58000. The size of a medium city. Just waltzed in, handed the keys to America...having never so much as filled out an I94 with a pencil.
And we have a debate, a moment of hesitation about a guy who risked his life for a US soldier?
Seriously though, if it did indeed go down as portrayed in the movie, and I have no reason to believe it didn’t, he and his family should be evacuated immediately and brought to the USA.
Don’t hold your breath. Barry probably has a hit out in him.
We let anyone in who can sneak across the border - gang member, terrorist, whatever — and we won’t let in a man whose life is threatened for helping one of our soldiers??!! What kind of an upside down society are we living in?
I agree, but he might want to dress differently, and change his name. The Muzzies will still be after him.
Let him in.
soetoro will send him to room with Dr Afridi.
Yet,we allow Dr.Afridi rot in a Paki prison.
If you read the book, it was even more dangerous, dramatic and one sided to this man (protecting Luttrell) than it was portrayed in the movie, him and his whole village.
100% this man should be given asylum.
I know many will not agree with me, but we should also do what we can for the Afghans who served faithfully with our troops. We should absolutely give them asylum. Vet them thoroughly and bring them to where they belong and can be safe.
I think it can be done without bringing in the types of turds who attacked the Americans they worked for.
Because they are going to be murdered over there.
I always felt that one of our most shameful legacies of Vietnam was the many good men who served and fought with us, who were murdered or rotted away in “re-education camps” in the jungles of Vietnam after 1975.
I worked with one of those men who escaped from a camp, made his way alone in a stolen boat across the pirate infested waters of the South China Sea, and eventually ended up in America.
And he made his escape after years of nearly being starved to death in one of those camps.
He will need to be given a different identity, much like witness protection. We have done the same for defectors during the Cold War.
We owe him. Not due to his ethnicity, but for what he has done for one of our own, at great risk to himself and his family.
Yes; here’s a summary of the rule in the US Senate:
A private bill provides benefits to specified individuals (including corporate bodies). Individuals sometimes request relief through private legislation when administrative or legal remedies are exhausted. Many private bills deal with immigration–granting citizenship or permanent residency. Private bills may also be introduced for individuals who have claims against the government, veterans benefits claims, claims for military decorations, or taxation problems. The title of a private bill usually begins with the phrase, “For the relief of. . . .” If a private bill is passed in identical form by both houses of Congress and is signed by the president, it becomes a private law.
When bills are passed in identical form by both Chambers of Congress and signed by the president (or repassed by Congress over a presidential veto), they become laws.
Thanks, that’s exactly what, I remembered..gov’t. class/43yrs ago.
