NYTimes: D.C. Law Firm Inserted ‘Hundreds’ of Unvetted Afghans into U.S. Airlift
Breitbart ^ | September 4,2021 | NEIL MUNRO

President Joe Biden’s Afghan evacuation was so chaotic that an immigration law firm in D.C. inserted hundreds of unidentified and unvetted Afghans from a regional Afghan city into the main processing center in Qatar, according to the New York Times.

But the vetting may not matter. If the passengers fail the vetting, it is unclear if the United States can persuade another country to accept them. If the passengers cannot be sent to another home, such as Pakistan, U.S. officials may quietly let them move to the United States.

The New York Times reported September 3: “Within hours of Mr. Biden’s speech on Aug. 31 at the White House marking the end of America’s two-decade war, a private charter plane from Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan’s fourth-largest city, arrived at the air base in Doha [in Quatar]— one of 10 way stations in eight countries — with no notice, carrying no American citizens but hundreds of Afghans. The manifest for the plane, apparently chartered by an ex-Marine’s law firm, offered “no clarity” about whether its passengers deserved special visas for helping American troops.

“There are multiple other ‘rogue’ flights that are seeking the same permissions” to land, emails from State Department officials sent that day said. “We have 300 people in Doha now who are basically stateless. Most have no papers.” … The [U.S.] official said refugees on the flight from Mazar-i-Sharif were taken to Ramstein Air Base in Germany to determine whether they should be allowed to come to the United States.

The New York Times report said the flight was engineered by Eric Montalvo, the founder of a D.C. law firm, the Federal Practice Group. The firm’s lawyers work for foreign clients and immigration seekers.

no. you don’t just let them quietly move to the US. You return them to sender. And send the lawyers the bill for transport.

Question to law firm people: Who told you to start bringing them in?

Lawyer: Some black guy with jug ears and his loudmouth bossy wife. They have fancy offices in a building close to here.

I have yet to see any kind of interview with a passport-holding, U.S. born evacuee. Seems like out of 122,000 and “6,000 Americans”, one would think there was at least one or two, right?...

Shakespeare was right.
