Veterans Urge Trump to Uphold Afghan Resettlement Programs

Credited from: REUTERS

  • Hundreds of veterans and U.S. officials are urging President-elect Donald Trump to continue the resettlement of at-risk Afghans.
  • A letter from these veterans highlights the betrayal of Afghan allies who risked their lives for the U.S. during the war against the Taliban.
  • The letter seeks additional funding for Special Immigration Visas (SIVs), requesting Congress approve an extra 50,000 visas.
  • Concerns are expressed that Trump may impose strict immigration policies that could hinder these programs.
  • Since the Taliban's takeover in August 2021, over 183,000 Afghans have resettled in the U.S., with significant ongoing support from various advocacy groups.
