That same day, Biden said it would be against the law to bring unprocessed Afghan SIV visa applicants to the US. Somehow this magically became legal a month later, now that it's too late to evacuate anyone from beyond Kabul, and there are no flights available for non-Americans.pic.twitter.com/hoHpRFn1zJ
From press reports it's clear that fewer than 2,000 SIV applicants made it to the US out of 80,000 applicants and dependents in the pipeline. And that number is a bureaucratic artifact unrelated to the actual number of people in danger of being murdered for helping US forces.
Two months ago the US had free access to every city in Afghanistan, all the airlift capacity in the world, and a full list of people our departure would endanger. Now travel between cities is impossible, we control one airport, and are blaming the people we abandoned to die.
Not in the worst days of the Trump presidency was I this ashamed to be an American.
