The country including permanent residents, those who were relatives of those american citizens who did get out and if you continue to ignore it, the tragedy continues to roll. i would make this a first priority as i don t see them doing that. carley: your making a point what the administration sees as vetting. they say we did background checks but the traditional definition of vetting is doing the interview, making sure people are who they say they are. some afghanistans told the department of homeland security they didn t have id with them, didn t want the taliban and to see who they were at checkpoints but according to the washington examiner article us officials created new records for afghans based on the individual claims. dhs said we didn t need their id. everything is okay, don t worry about it. is everything okay? ....
Country treated as a binary that if you vote democrat or republican. the thing is the u.s. policy has to change. we have to treat haitians with humanity and dignity and respect because when the cubans come in, the afghanistans come in, they re largely welcomed but every time haitian people say we want a chance at a better life, we re always told go back, to go back into the line. where is the line for us? i just want there to be more compassion and generosity of spirit and simple grace because haiti, for whatever reason, you know, the world wants to punish haiti. we re the first black republic that fought for our freedom and independence and got it, and the world has sought to make us pay. just show us a little bit of grace. grace and compassion indeed. i want to take a hard turn here because we got to talk instagram, there was a new report from the wall street journal that reveals that ....
Border. she sees them as the bad guys. so all i can say is what biden has done is he surrendered the border to drug cartels, coyotes and human smugglers, surrendered afghanistan to the terrorists and a major attack will come our way. because the combination of allowing afghanistans to fall back in terrorists hands and having an open and broken border here in the united states, it s a matter of time that the terrorists come through the border to kill us. here s what i want to say to the american people. the man on horseback is there to protect your family. the people rushing our border have put us all under siege. i think the most inhumane thing going on right now in america is the men and women of the border patrol have been completely abandoned, demagogued, scapegoated and treated like dirt by elected officials and ....
We really need more, correct? yes. we want to make sure all the authorities exist to provide that humanitarian assistance including by not just our own ngo s but others as well. it s a strategic situation. we know we control significant resources the afghan government has been relying on to run basic services. this is a strategic leverage that we have over the taliban to continue to try to pressure them into honoring human rights, honoring the rights of women, encountering some of the terrorist concerns we have, is very important. given what we understand without those resources, there are going to be continued humanitarian suffering. as the new york times reported the world food program estimating 40% of afghanistans will be lost. there will be tremendous hunger. wheat expected to go up 25%. the food stock is expected to ....
0 i wish general austin were here. secretary austin could answer many of the questions that were proposed. but this was not a choice between either a dangerous escalation of the war, which has just been laid out, or a precipitous chaotic withdrawal that embarrassed us around the globe. to say that it was not a sign of weakness the way we left. i mean, i don t know who you re talking to. but if you re talking to our allies in nato, they would say it was a sign of weakness. if you re talking honestly to our adversaries, they will certainly say it is a sign of weakness, as will terrorist groups around the world. so i hope the lesson we learned here isn t that this was the right way to leave. hopefully, the lesson we learned here is there was a better way to leave. if the decision was made to pull out, it should not have been a precipitous chaotic and, unfortunately, deadly departure. this afternoon i will be speaking on the floor about max scobiak. he was one of 13 american soldiers, sail ....
