How can Biden’s handlers establish, at this distance of time and space, whether or not these people were “forced”? They can’t. But really, what could possibly go wrong?
“Some Afghan refugees now have a chance to avoid terrorism designation that blocked their path to U.S.,” by Hamed Aleaziz, Los Angeles Times, June 15, 2022:
Doctors, teachers, engineers and other Afghans who were forced to associate with the Taliban will now have a chance at asylum or visas after the Biden administration loosened a terrorism-related designation on Tuesday, according to government officials and documents reviewed by the Los Angeles Times.
The exemption will be applied on a case-by-case basis after security vetting and is expected to help Afghans who fled their country after U.S. troops withdrew and the Taliban took over last August, as well as some Afghans who entered the U.S. earlier, said officials from the Department of Homeland Security.
Some can be flagged with the terrorism designation for as little as paying their electricity bill to the Taliban, paying money to get through a Taliban checkpoint or obtaining a passport issued by the Taliban. Others can get the designation for having worked as civil servants under Taliban rule in the 1990s. Among them are Afghan citizens who assisted the U.S. government. They must otherwise be eligible for asylum, refugee or other immigration status.
As part of Operation Allies Welcome, the U.S. has allowed more than 79,000 Afghans to enter the country since last year’s Taliban takeover.
Afghans, “including those who bravely and loyally supported U.S. forces on the ground in Afghanistan at great risk to their safety, should not be denied humanitarian protection and other immigration benefits due to their inescapable proximity to war or their work as civil servants,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas in a statement.
In Los Angeles, a 49-year-old man who came to the U.S. decades ago was denied a green card last year because he had been forced as a college student in the late 1980s to help a group associated with the Afghan mujahedeen, according to his attorney, Stacy Tolchin.
He distributed fliers and fixed weapons, believing he would be harmed if he did not do so, Tolchin said.
Tolchin hopes her client can now get a green card, along with a chance to bring family members to the U.S.
“I’m going to cry,” she said. “This is morally and politically right.”
U.S. immigration law bars people who are members of a “terrorist organization” or engaged in “terrorism-related” activity from receiving refugee or asylum status….

Joe Biden and his advisory crew , his handlers ,once in power not long after January 20, 2021 created a disaster in Afghanistan by giving it all to the Taliban and leaving them high quality US military equipment as well as many different types of US military vehicles and at the same abandoning ,as in stranding many Americans Afghanistan to the ruthless vicious revenge ofthe Taliban.
Likewise allowing into the United States many unvetted Afghan “refugees.” there is that awful probable chance that some of them are very dangerous,, some being secret jihadists and some non -jihadist Muslim “refugees” who have always sexaually assulted young American girls and women because their religion/culture is very much full of misogyny.
That horrible fiend of a man Joe Biden and is wicked top staff, handlers , are horrendously awful
This should not only alarm all patriotic Americans but should also put to shame those decent US citizens who became distracted on election day in November 2020 and thus didn’t vote for the reelection of President Trump.
As the ancient Greek Philosopher , Plato , had wisely written ” The price that good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”

The ancient Greek philosopher , Plato , wrote ” The measure of a man is what he does with power.”
Joe Biden has shown since he had entered the Office of the US Presidency , with his many despicable policies in Afghanistan and his working to appease and even supports the Taliban, in different ways, which is treasonous.
Therefore that villain , Joe Biden has revealed since he obtained the power of the US Presidency that his “measure” is terribly lacking. So much so that his “measure” is so very negative that it’s on the side of evil. Absolute evil.

mozlums are taught to lie. Criminals see nothing wrong with lying. As has been said so many times, “the prisons are full of innocent people.”
Now put the two things together…who really expects these terrorists to admit to being more than willing to assist the taliban in their pursuit of everyone bowing to them and to their evil demands, written in a book of filth? Only someone who is a total fool, or someone who is a totally evil creature and wants what will happen to happen.

What could possibly go wrong? Indeed.

The bloodthirsty vicious Muslims who make up the Taliban with their evil mindset and behavior are nothing new or original . Such malicious monsters have been around as far back as far as to ancient times.
For as the Bible informs it’s reader about fiends “inventors of evil things..” Romans 1:30. K.J.V.] In those ancient days gone by there were inventors of cruel and deadly devices called “bobbie traps.” made out of this such as sharp wooden spikes.
Now in modern times the fiends who are the Taliban make cruel and deadly bobbie trapes called “Improvised Explosive Devices ” that are made out of gun power scrap metal, nails and other terrible things.
Furthermore the very next verse , 31, also rather fits the horrendous characters of the Taliban, Which reads “Without understanding , covenant breakers , without natural affection , implacable ,unmerciful.”
