Former President George W. Bush on Monday urged President Joe Biden to “cut the red tape” and allow for the swift evacuation of Afghan refugees following the Taliban’s takeover of the country.
Responding to the fall of Afghanistan’s US-backed government, Bush said the Afghans “at the greatest risk are the same ones who have been on the forefront of progress inside their nation.”
The costly US-led war in Afghanistan began just shy of 20 years ago after the 9/11 attack while Bush was president.
Bush, in his Monday statement, noted Biden has promised to evacuate the Afghans who assisted Americans and its NATO allies over the past two decades.
“The United States government has the legal authority to cut the red tape for refugees during urgent humanitarian crises. And we have the responsibility and the resources to secure safe passage for them now, without bureaucratic delay,” he said in his statement.

They should not be allowed into the USA. Send them to Somalia.
Why not send the Afghan jihadis to ChiCom China? I hear that they’re running low on Uighurs.
“Progress”
Nice that he makes a neutral call for assistance from Biden… of course he couldn’t do the same for Trump.
Should be urging him to cut his own throat
Why isn’t the press falling all over themselves to interview Cindy Sheehan NOW?
We’re getting a lot of them. Most going to San Antonio I believe.
I agree! In the states they will be shell shocked by western culture and will start raping our women as well as murdering them.
No, we don't.
GWB never met an illegal or refugee willing to cross the border that he didn’t want American tax payers to have to support. Apparently he agrees with Hillary’s “it takes a village” mentality
GTH&FUGWB
Someone give W a pretzel...
Yep
Why not send them to the Middle East where they would feel more at home ? We have allies there. Why can’t they absorb some ? But no. To W, like to his retarded brother ¡ ꓭƎſ , importing 100s of thousands of unskilled, illiterate refugees is an “act of love”. And by act of love they mean an opportunity to pay back their donors.
I highly doubt that GWB ever had a bill, job, expense, etc. that someone didn't already pay for.
No. No more.
Wasn’t the Pulse shooter an Afghan?
Looks like a great opportunity for Taliban to insert a sleeper agent(s). Hope these people will be thoroughly screened before they’re unleashed on our society. Our Intelligence people don’t instill confidence.
