Agents on US-Mexico border asked to help with Afghan exodus
NY Post ^ | 08/19/21 | Steven Nelson

Border Patrol agents are being asked to temporarily move from the US-Mexico border to Afghanistan to help with the desperate evacuation of US and Afghan citizens following the Taliban takeover of the country.

The Border Patrol has been overwhelmed by this year’s illegal immigration crisis on the southern border, but agents were recently asked to consider an assignment to either Afghanistan or a nearby country to help process Afghans seeking refuge in the US.

Three Border Patrol agents told the Washington Examiner that the possible postings would last 30 to 90 days overseas.

One agent said that “supervisors are getting a feel for agents’ willingness to go to Afghanistan by asking around” but that there’s been “no official solicitation yet.”

Kabul will be like the Hotel California—you can check in but you can’t leave....

Well...it might actually be a vacation compared to working at the Southern Border.

Perhaps the U.S. should establish some sort of temporary living situation, in that part of the world, for the displaced Afghanis. They could call it Palafghanestine.

Well, they maybe should just alter the C-17 flights to land in methico and have the folks from A-stan cross down there. Sure would save on a lot of efforts. Minimal paperwork, minimal vetting, minimal CONvid-one9 testing. Free transport to a location away from the border. What could go wrong?

Perhaps that explains the call up of Nevada National Guard members for a one year deployment at the southern border.

The national guard is only used for support to BP, like feeding, changing diapers, etc.
