Images of thousands of Afghans desperately trying to flee their country following a hasty US withdrawal have provoked an international outcry.
As of August 22, 2021, some 6,000 US troops were working to evacuate US military, American citizens and Afghans who are approved for Special Immigrant Visas. SIVs are a special program to protect Afghans who risked their lives working for US troops in Afghanistan.
Germany, France, Italy and the UK are conducting smaller evacuation efforts for their nationals and some Afghans.
The pace of these poorly planned evacuations has been slow. They are taking place amid chaos in Kabul, where crowds are being confronted by violence from members of the now-ruling Taliban and US forces and facing checkpoints that are near-impossible to pass.
Shaharzad Akbar, who leads the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission, called the situation “failure upon failure.”
As a scholar specializing in forcible displacement and refugees, I see this harrowing scene unfolding within a broader context of Afghanistan’s long-standing displacement crisis. This includes an unequal sharing of refugees between the developed world and economically disadvantaged countries.
A muted US role
The US Refugee Act of 1980 standardized the procedures for admitting refugees – people who have fled war, violence, conflict or persecution – and put in place a rigorous vetting process. But over the past 40 years, US acceptance rates for refugees worldwide have fallen significantly – from 200,000 admitted in 1980 to less than 50,000 in 2019. (article with chart continues at link)

At least 700 can fir on Obama’s compound. Ive seen the houses of the rich and famous in Malibu. Lots of room there. Anyone who holds up a “refugees welcome” sign probably has a couch.

Who cares? Neither the US nor the world owes them nothing.
There’s a reason the country is like the land that time forgot. No one wants them. Iraqi’s, Jordanians, Egyptians and “Palestinians” are pretty low on the pecking order. None are lower than the folks from Afghanistan.
