Vice President Kamala Harris has promised to provide green cards to tens of thousands of Afghan nationals brought to the United States, often without in-person testing. The move comes even as an alleged Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist was able to be resettled from Afghanistan to Oklahoma as part of Harris and President Joe Biden's larger Afghanistan resettlement operation. It will be carried out immediately.
In September 2021, the Biden-Harris administration began resettling approximately 100,000 Afghan nationals across American communities. Among those resettled was 27-year-old Nasir Ahmad Tawhidi, who was arrested in Oklahoma this month on suspicion of planning an ISIS terrorist attack on American citizens on Election Day.
As president, Harris will be reinstated in the United States in 2021 by passing a Senate bill by Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), despite widespread vetting failures, according to multiple federal audits. He has vowed to work to provide green cards to resettled Afghans. Kyrsten Sinema (Iowa-Ariz.) and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) included such provisions.
Harris' campaign site read:
As president, she will revive and sign a bipartisan border security bill into law. At the same time, she knows our immigration system is broken and requires comprehensive reform, including strong border security and a path to citizenship. [Emphasis added]
Since Afghans began arriving at Dulles International Airport in 2021, the resettlement project has been plagued by poor screening.
In April 2023, former Department of Defense (DOD) officials reported that some Afghans had been brought to the United States before it was discovered that they were involved in planting improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in Afghanistan to kill American soldiers. He told parliament that he had been resettled.
In 2021, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) requested information about the number of Afghans seeking to enter the United States who were placed on the federal government's “no-travel list” due to their ties to Islamic terrorism. requested. Biden administration officials have declined to release the total amount.
In September 2022, the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Inspector General (IG) announced that the Biden administration is considering identifying Afghans who have not been “adequately vetted” and who may “pose a risk to national security.” released a bombshell report detailing how he was brought to the United States.
Similarly, a February 2022 Pentagon report found that Biden's administration did not properly vet Afghans arriving in the United States, and that approximately 50 Afghans were left with “critical security concerns” after being resettled. It was revealed that the above concerns were pointed out.
Most unscrutinized Afghans suspected of possible ties to terrorism have since disappeared into U.S. society, according to a Pentagon report. The report noted that as of September 17, 2021, of the 31 Afghans for whom certain “derogatory information” had been reported, only three could be located.
In August 2022, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) announced that the Biden administration had identified approximately 400 people listed as “potential threats” in a federal database. It detailed allegations from a whistleblower that Afghans were intentionally resettled in the United States. And he urged staff to cut corners in the vetting process.
In May 2022, a Project Veritas report claimed that the Biden administration resettled Afghans on the federal government's “terrorism watch list” into American communities.
In July, Grassley asked DHS and the FBI for details on what the agencies were doing to monitor Afghans deemed a national security threat after they were resettled in the United States. Neither agency responded to the request.
