The State Department under Secretary Marco Rubio has officially terminated a Biden-era Afghan refugee program that allowed thousands of unvetted Afghans into the United States, citing serious security failures by the previous administration.

The controversial program, established at Camp As Sayliyah in Doha, Qatar, was supposedly designed to help Afghan allies who fled during Biden's catastrophic Afghanistan withdrawal in August 2021. However, sources reveal the Biden administration failed to follow basic security vetting procedures, potentially allowing dangerous individuals to enter American soil.

This swift action by the Trump-Vance administration represents just the beginning of a comprehensive review of Biden's immigration disasters. Remember, this is the same withdrawal that killed 13 American service members and left billions in military equipment in Taliban hands.

America First Security Returns

The decision to shut down this program aligns perfectly with President Trump's campaign promise to prioritize American security over globalist virtue signaling. While Biden opened our borders to anyone claiming refugee status, Trump's team is conducting the thorough vetting that should have happened from day one.

"The American people deserve to know exactly who is entering our country and why," said one administration source familiar with the decision.

This move comes as part of Trump's broader immigration overhaul, which includes mass deportations of illegal immigrants and completion of the border wall that Biden tried to halt on his first day in office.

Cleaning Up Biden's Mess

The Qatar-based program was symptomatic of Biden's reckless approach to national security – feel-good policies with zero accountability. How many potential threats slipped through Biden's non-existent vetting process? That's exactly what the Trump administration is working to determine.

Patriots across America are breathing a sigh of relief knowing adults are back in charge of our national security. After four years of Biden's open-border insanity, Trump is once again putting America First.

How many other Biden-era security disasters will the Trump administration uncover in the coming weeks?

Finally! This should have been done years ago. We need proper vetting and accountability - can't just let anyone in without knowing who they really are.

Absolutely right. I served over there and saw firsthand how chaotic the evacuation was. No way they could properly vet everyone in that mess.

About time someone put America first again. How much taxpayer money was being wasted on this program anyway?
