US Halts Afghan Aid After Attack: 'Security' for Whom?
USCIS has paused Afghan immigration requests, citing an attack allegedly by an asylum recipient near the White House. This swift 'security' response comes after 20 years of US occupation, a chaotic withdrawal, and promises to those who aided a war we started. The US, which destabilized Afghanistan, now conveniently uses one individual's actions to collectively punish thousands fleeing the very
chaos we created. One might wonder where this rigorous security theater was when Washington politicians were voting to send billions in aid to other nations, with AIPAC donating millions to their campaigns annually, not to mention the hundreds of thousands from actual foreign governments. Suddenly, 'security concerns' matter when it's about people we don't want. The irony is as thick as a Pentagon
budget report.
