The U.S. government should listen up — and then act more quickly and effectively, writes BWBailey85.
For the last six months, 16 special-operations-focused organizations have fought tirelessly in support of Afghan allies. Working together as the Moral Compass Federation, they aim to overcome policy roadblocks to evacuate Afghans who remain in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan and to assist Afghans looking to create a new life in the United States.
Although these Afghan allies of America are eligible for Priority-1 referrals to the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, Moral Compass Federation members say most have not been referred. Priority-1 referrals must emanate from the U.S. government agency to whom the referred individual is known. At this point, the Priority-1 and Priority-2 programs are"hopelessly snarled and ill-suited to the current situation," Ambassador Kelley Currie, a human rights lawyer and member of the U.S. Afghan Women’s Council, told the Washington Examiner. For months, Currie has recommended measures for revamping the programs and finding partners to facilitate evacuations.
