NDC Leads 14 Veteran Groups OPPOSED to Blanket Immigration Amnesty for Any and All Afghanis.

Recently, the National Defense Committee joined 13 other military and veterans’ organization in urging Congress to not pass the Afghan Adjustment Act (S. 2327), a bill that was reintroduced this year by Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) to accelerate permanent residency for Afghans who fled from the Taliban.

The letter brings up issues that the organizations have with the proposed bill, stating, “To provide blanket permanent residency to any Afghan simply lucky enough to get on a plane to the United States, regardless of their prior relationship to the U.S. government, makes cheap the sacrifices of Americans and the United States in our battles in Afghanistan”.

Retired Navy Capt. Bob Carey, director of the National Defense Committee and organizer of the letter, told the Daily Caller the bill far exceeds America’s pledge to pay back Afghans who assisted the U.S. military. He added, “The NDAA is not an immigration bill, passing nothing is better than the Afghan Adjustment Act.”
