What to do About the Afghan Refugees

    There is a new crisis that is an offshoot of Biden's bungling of the Afghanistan pullout.  What should be done about the 50K+ refugees from Afghanistan (many of which had no ties to the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program)?  I have given the problem a lot of thought; and I believe that the following procedure should be the process undertaken:

The first step should be to correctly identify which refugees have been issued a SIV.  These individuals should be given an American Work Visa (AWV) which is a card that grants the recipient the politically recognized right to contractually work for any pay according to terms that are completely, freely negotiated with each employer and the AWV holder.  Once the SIV distinguished individual receives this recognition, that person should be released from the processing area to freely travel anywhere one wants in the country.

The next step is to vet the remaining refugees.  Those who fail to pass America's standards are either sent to a different country or restricted in some capacity in ours.  The vast majority of the refugees will pass the vetting process.  When one of these individuals is cleared, an American Work Visa (AWV) is issued that grants the same freedom as the SIV predecessors.

The question could be raised by Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holders: Why did I bother to achieve the SIV status?  Joe Biden made it very difficult to find room for you to get out of Afghanistan.  After he initially removed most of our military, prematurely, there were desperate restrictions in trying to evacuate from the Kabul airport.  America had to put Americans as the priority.  All I can really say is that some of you SIV holders may have gotten out because of your American aid, whereas without it, you never would have succeeded.  It is indeed terrible what has happened to those left behind because of one man's spite for President Trump's benevolent plan.
