We broke their country so we owe them citizenship at least. I’m sure Donnie Dipshit has other ideas though.
A dumbshit extremist religion funded and pushed by the Saudi's broke their country.
Look at how the country was in the 60s and tell me any decade since hasn't been exponentially worse. That shit plunged them back into the dark ages.
The Taliban and years of religious squabbling is what broke their country. And if you truly think it's all the US, then you don't know your history and are uneducated.
The recent history of Afghanistan is complex, but "Pulling out haphazardly after releasing thousands of Taliban fighters against the will of the national government" is, at the very least, a very strong contributing factor to the current state of affairs.
I didn’t say it was entirely America’s fault. I’m well aware of the history of Afghanistan because I personally went there with the military. Ever hear of what Colin Powell called the Pottery Barn Rule? It means if you break it, then you buy it.
If 4 years of Biden couldn't give them residency, I doubt another 4 of the same is going to do any difference.
For those who wish to point out that Donald would be worse, congratulations on pointing out that none of the candidates will do any good for them.
Biden used a policy called Humanitarian Parole, an extended temporary process stay which requires presidential renewal every 2 years.
That is to say, their current temporary status is itself the achievement that Biden has accomplished (once initially and one renewal so far), and that Harris will presumably continue and Trump will presumably revoke.
Yes promising full residency and keeping them permanently in limbo is an achievement. It wouod have been better if they didnt help US.
I know you already know this and just don't care, but for the sanity of anybody else reading: it is obviously true and centrally relevant that being punched in the face once is better than being punched in the face a thousand times, even moreso when you're about to pick which one is about to happen to you.
I'd say I hope Harris wins for their sake, but honestly I'm hoping she wins for everyone's sake.
What is this, the WOKE media trying to convince me of the thing thing I pretend to read?
