Veterans of the Afghanistan war are lobbying to resume the admission of Afghan migrants, a process currently halted by the Trump administration. The coalition, AfghanEvac, argues that leaving Afghan allies behind would damage America's honor, viewing the admission of 200,000 Afghans so far as merely a start. This effort coincides with ongoing issues related to national security, especially concerning the Biden administration's border policies. While the coalition primarily consists of veterans, it also includes NGOs focused on open-border policies, raising questions about motivations and alignment with broader political agendas.
The AfghanEvac coalition argues that leaving Afghan allies behind would tarnish America's honor, calling for resumption of migrant admissions while navigating political conflicts.
Despite resettling 200,000 Afghans, AfghanEvac views this as insufficient, pressing for action to uphold what they perceive as a debt to their allies.
Political dynamics reveal AfghanEvac's collaboration with anti-Trump NGOs, raising concerns about motivations behind advocating for increased Afghan migration, especially amidst national security issues.
Veterans lobby against the backdrop of Trump’s migration promises, which directly conflicts with AfghanEvac’s aims, showcasing a complex intersection of advocacy and political realities.
