Ten Afghan Refugees Are National Security Risks, More Coming

One of Biden's handlers, unnamed in a Wednesday Wall Street Journal report, has admitted that ten of these evacuees have already been detained as risks to national security.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas noted in late September that 60,000 Afghans had been brought to the United States by that time, including nearly 8,000 who were American citizens or residents of the country, and 1,800 had Special Immigrant Visas issued to them for aiding the U.S. military in Afghanistan.

The balance of that population are individuals whose applications have not yet been processed for approval who may qualify as SIVs and have not yet applied, who qualify or would qualify-I should say-as P-1 or P-2 refugees who have been employed by the United States government in Afghanistan and are otherwise vulnerable Afghan nationals, such as journalists, human rights advocates, et cetera.

Another unnamed "Senior official" in the Biden administration assured the Wall Street Journal that "The use of biometric and biographic data was a robust screening strategy, as the U.S. had decades to build up databases of information related to national security threats and crime. The official said it was sufficient to address the lack of paperwork or other identifying information." The official downplayed any risk: "In the case of Afghanistan, we had quite a lot [of data] because we've spent almost 20 years in the country. It was actually a particularly rich set of information in those various databases."

National Security Council spokesperson Emily Horne added: "The fact that some have been flagged by our counterterrorism, intelligence, or law enforcement professionals for additional screening shows our system is working. Many of the same people criticizing us for bringing in Afghans were on TV calling for us to evacuate as many Afghans as possible in August."

The number of evacuees who have already aroused suspicion is greater than the ten who have been flagged as national security risks.

The Washington Post reported on September 10 that "The Department of Homeland Security flagged 44 Afghan evacuees as potential national security risks during the past two weeks as the government screened tens of thousands for resettlement in the United States."
