The Biden administration wants a billion dollars to begin to process Afghan citizens eligible for evacuation. This comes out to $50K per applicant, or about $40K more than airfare to the US along with a few grand to tide them over while finding a job.https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/26/politics/afghanistan-visas-white-house-funding/index.html …

For that matter, what about the millions of other Afghans in the country we spent twenty years bombing? What exactly is the risk of letting them come live here and open fantastic restaurants? And what about all the Afghan women who have no future under the Taliban? Let them in!

We're wasting the biggest strength of being a rich, pluralistic society, which is to let people from all over the world immigrate, work hard, and send money home. This approach is not only a win/win, but makes people like your country much more than drone-bombing their weddings!
