ANOTHER BETRAYAL
Today, the Trump administration expanded the FY2026 refugee admissions ceiling by 10,000 slots reserved for Afrikaners from South Africa.
At the same time, Afghan allies who fought alongside U.S. troops remain locked out of nearly every protection pathway built for people exactly like them.
For more than a year, we were told there was no capacity. No authority. No pathway.
Today proved otherwise.
Roughly 1,100 vetted Afghan men, women, and children remain stranded at Camp As Sayliyah in Doha, including families of active duty U.S. military personnel.
These are people cleared by the United States government. People who served beside American troops, diplomats, and intelligence officers.
The mechanism to help exists. The administration just chose to use it for someone else.
America made a promise to Afghan allies. We should keep it.
