During the Biden regime, thousands of migrants from Afghanistan were let in to our nation under ‘Operation Allies Welcome’ following the disastrous military withdrawal from the country.

The gunman who shot two National Guard members, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was one such Afghan national.

There are so many issues with the Biden-era program that opened our borders to Afghan citizens, including lack of proper vetting.

Frankly, it was reckless and dangerous.

But, Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin just raised another giant problem that goes beyond the technical details…

He says that the Taliban is still using the families as leverage against many of these Afghans.

Watch this:

Backup here, if needed:

JUST IN: Sen. Markwayne Mullin sounds the alarm that we brought home Afghans whose family members are used as LEVERAGE by the Taliban in Afghanistan to this day

This was a horrible, HORRIBLE IDEA!

It was not possible to bring in tens of thousands of them without HUGE issues.… pic.twitter.com/QsIWlWb1XJ

What Sen. Mullin is basically saying is that even if Biden’s asylum program for Afghan nationals was carefully planned and had all the proper vetting, it still would have put the lives of Americans at risk.

Of course, we don’t know if the Taliban was controlling the family of Rahmanullah Lakanwal or if they played a factor at all in the horrific attack on the National Guard in D.C. this past Wednesday.

But still, it raises some serious concerns.

Take a look at some of these responses:

Bless his heart, Senator Mullin is exactly right. We left our own people behind while flying in thousands who never should’ve been on those planes. Now we’re burying American boys because of it. Mercy, this never would’ve happened under real leadership.

Everyone with a brain said this would blow up. You can’t drag in tens of thousands of people from a war zone with zero real vetting and expect no fallout. This was reckless from day one, and Americans are now living with the consequences.

Imagine thinking it was a good idea to mass import millions of people who hate America.

Then again, Democrats hate America, too. So I guess it makes sense. pic.twitter.com/u5xYxfwQSL

Thankfully, President Trump is now taking action to re-examine all of these Afghan migrants and stop more from flooding in.

The Independent has more details on that:

The U.S. has suspended all immigration requests from Afghans after two National Guardsmen were shot in Washington, D.C., in an attack described by Donald Trump as an “act of terror”.

An Afghan man was identified as the suspect in the shooting near the White House on Wednesday. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said immigration requests have been stopped “indefinitely” with the decision made pending a review of “security and vetting protocols”.

The move follows Trump’s call for his government to re-examine Afghan immigrants who entered the United States when Joe Biden was president.
