GEORGE W BUSH INSTITUTE slams Donald Trump for halting immigration from Afghanistan following an Afghan invader’s shooting of two National Guard members in Washington DC.
Breitbart (h/t Nita) Following the fatal shooting of one National Guard member and the injury of another in Washington, DC, by an Afghan immigrant, the George W. Bush Institute thinks Americans should sympathize with Afghan nationals and urges against broadly targeting Afghan immigration applicants in response to the actions of a single individual.
Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national who entered the U.S. in 2021 through the Biden administration’s Operation Allies Welcome, has been arraigned and is facing charges in the Thanksgiving-week ambush-style shooting that left 20-year-old Spc. Sarah Beckstrom dead and critically injured 24-year-old Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe.
The post linked to a full policy piece authored by Bush Institute directors Natalie Gonnella-Platts and Laura Collins. The article begins by condemning the D.C. shooting as “unconscionable,” calling it an act of terrorism, hate, and barbaric violence that “has no place in any civilized society.”
“But going back on our word to Afghans who helped us is contrary to our values as Americans,” the authors write. They assert that many of these individuals “risked their lives over the last two decades” working in partnership with U.S. forces and, despite undergoing years of vetting before arrival, are now facing disruptions due to the government’s response — including paused visa issuance, halted asylum decisions, and canceled naturalization ceremonies.
Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor for President Trump Stephen Miller took aim at the Bush Institute on X, writing: “As Americans get ready to celebrate Christmas, the George W. Bush Presidential Center is very earnestly posting about the urgent need for unfettered migration from the most dangerous nations on planet earth, while effectively conceding some of these migrants will try to kill us.”“
Miller has previously said that immigration policy cannot be evaluated solely on an individual, case-by-case basis. “You are not just importing individuals. You are importing societies,” he wrote shortly after the National Guard shooting. “No magic transformation occurs when failed states cross borders.” Miller described this view as central to what he called “the great lie of mass migration,” warning that migrants and their descendants can, at scale, “recreate the conditions, and terrors, of their broken homelands.”
All I can say is thank God, George W Bush is not the president now.
Oh yeah bullshit in her 100% pure form. here in my nation germany they told us the story of the many workers our millitary had and that was only for the few we had there. officially we had 506 afgahn workers but today we have flown in over 50.000 and the planes are still flying them in. the lie is the truth or so they say after orwell.
Tell me again why Uncle Sam invaded Afghanistan and what did the people of that landlocked Mountain Country do against America that caused American Forces to throw the country that was living in the 18th century all the way back to the 7th century and while trying to remember that reason what exactly did the people of Iraq do against America as after all their Leader was put in place by the CIA and Bush Sr was good friends with him when he was Director of the CIA…
But then most of the jihadis that flew planes into WTC on 9/11 were Saudi Arabian and we couldn’t bomb them.. right ?.
Inquiring minds want to know.
Bush a globalist dog turd
Bush is a RHINO. He needs to shut up anyway. Trying to make himself relevant, I guess.
I had a friend who told me he knew a woman dating an Afghan immigrant in the US who had helped US forces there. He was married, but dating & raped this woman. So, they have not left their culture & Islam behind. They supported the US & came here all for economic benefits.
They need to quit saying these Afghans are vetted. Maybe some are, but many if not most ARE NOT! Besides that, the Muslims causing the most crime in many Western European countries are AFGHANS! They are the WORST!
HEY BUSHY, STHU WE DON’T WANT ANYMORE MUSLIMS IN OUR COUNTRY. IF YOU LIKE THEM SO MUCH, LET THEM LIVE IN YOUR HOUSE, MORON
Why should innocent Americans have to pay with blood for the mess created by Bush & Co. Go kiss Clintons backside, about all the Bush family are good for. Did anyone hear Tucker Carlson at TPUSA lecturing on how we should be nicer to musselmen? Tired of these snakes calling for the death of our nation.
Yes! Qatarlson’s speech made my skin crawl. It’s amazing what $15 million from the Qataris will buy in this country.
If you don’t know who they are, if they can’t be properly vetted, you can’t let them in.
Sorry, W, you have been deceived! Fool must be getting his news from CNN, or watching “The View”.
I think it FAR more likely that G.W. Bush and the rest of his family are – and have been for a very long time!! – massively BRIBED by the Arabs and other OPEC members!!!
I will dare say that he AND his family ought to be investigated for corruption going all the way back to 1960. [His father G.H.W. Bush has been rumoured as having been involved in the murder of JFK on 1963/11/22.]
