Explainer: Who are the Afghan refugees coming to the U.S. and what happens when they arrive?

WASHINGTON, – Thousands of Afghans have arrived in the United States since the hurried evacuation of Afghanistan began in mid-August, including many who helped U.S. forces during its 20-year involvement in the country’s war.

President Joe Biden said the United States aimed to evacuate 50,000 to 65,000 Afghan allies before an Aug. 31 deadline for U.S. withdrawal.

Biden’s estimate appeared to refer to Afghans who have applied for a humanitarian visa known as a Special Immigrant Visa (SIV), and their family members.

The U.S. government has declined to say how many Afghans have arrived in the United States since the evacuation from Kabul began or the immigration status of those people.

  1. Ha what happens? Same with every other “refugee”. Free cash, free housing, free schooling, quicker path to citizenship (if they choose) and off the radar assimilated into the USA.

    All on the backs of taxpayers who continue to pay pay pay for others free ride.
