Since this has now been recognized as a humanitarian disaster by some conservatives, I wonder if they\u2019d be willing to allow Afghanis to immigrate to the US? Or will they merely criticize Biden and complain about how bad it is for political advantage?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The only thing I am certain conservatives will do is rush to surrender their principles and\/or dilly dally while the Left gets its way, so I don’t particularly care what “conservatives” think or do — even though I consider myself a conservative. <\/p>\n
I do not think we should allow Afghans into the U.S. Certainly not in large numbers. <\/p>\n
Everything I’ve seen and heard for the last 20 years, and everything I’ve read about Afghanistan before that time, shows they are not a good cultural fit. They don’t believe in a Republican form of government, their family structure \/ practice is atrocious, and I don’t want more Muslims in this country. <\/p>\n
While there is room for some charity in our immigration policies, the vast bulk of it should be based on American self interest. I.e., what people will fit in and contribute. Afghans score very low on both of those counts. <\/p>\n
Probably the best thing the U.S. could do is help resettle Afghans fleeing the Taliban into neighboring countries. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
