Krikorian: "You can't vet people from Afghanistan. Even when we ran the place, our vetting was hit and miss.... The best vetted are the relative handful of people who were working as translators for the military."
Krikorian: "The people coming in are likely SIV applicants.... These people haven't been approved yet for their visas. Once they set down in the US, it's game over. What are we gonna do? Deport them back to Afghanistan?"
Krikorian: 2 special immigrant visas for Afghans. Translators - total number is 2100, so it's very small. The second type is people who worked for the govt in some capacity or contractors.
The final category is a refugee category, but NGOs are pushing for a very broad classification of refugees.
It has become a matter of whether people can get into the airport, not whether people are qualified for green cards.
"Getting people out is not the same as bringing them to the US."
