Josh Hawley (R-MO) that officials have not fully checked the identity and purposes of all Afghans who crowded into U.S. aircraft in Kabul.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are correct that we are not conducting in-person full refugee interviews of 100 percent of the individuals,\u201d Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told Hawley during the Tuesday hearing at the Senate\u2019s judiciary committee.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Hawley compared the chaotic airlift of Afghans to the reckless lack of U.S. border security prior to the Al Qaeda 2001 destruction of New York\u2019s Twin Towers:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote readability=\"12\">\n<p>Hawley: Do you know how many of the 9\/11 hijackers \u2013 the 20 who tried to enter this country \u2013 do you know how many of them were given an in-depth interview by a trained security official?<\/p>\n<p>Mayorkas: I do not.<\/p>\n<p>Hawley: One. The answer is one. That person did not enter the country. The others were not given an interview. We know the outcome. For that reason, the 9\/11 Commission recommended in-person interviews for all refugees and others brought to this country in these circumstances. That was 20 years ago.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hawley reminded Mayorkas of alleged crimes committed by Afghans at U.S. bases, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"12\">\n<p>Are you following what\u2019s happening to people who\u2019ve been brought to this country? On September 19, a female U.S. service member was assaulted by a group of male Afghan evacuees housed at Fort Bliss. [On] September 5, a report from your office, the DHS officials at intake centers in Wisconsin&nbsp;identified numerous incidents in which Afghan girls had been presented to authorities as the underage \u201cwives\u201d of much older men [and] other reports of assaults and rapes by Afghan men for Afghan girls. These are some of the folks who\u2019ve been brought here because they haven\u2019t been screened, because you haven\u2019t conducted interviews. Don\u2019t you think that\u2019s a problem?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Mayorkas replied:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"19\">\n<p>Senator, those individuals have been screened, as I spoke of previously. Let me share with you that if an individual violates a condition of parole\u2026 They can be criminally prosecuted depending on the reason for their violation \u2026<\/p>\n<p>I want to make sure we understand that the incidence of violations of parole, which Senator [Hawley] correctly pointed to, is the great exception, the extraordinary exception, and not the rule. We are incredibly proud of Operation Allies Welcome and our ability to resettle individuals who have worked alongside us in the theater of war, and who otherwise need humanitarian protection.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Biden and his deputies have imported more than 50,000 Afghans \u2014 few of whom actually fought alongside U.S. forces that sought to help the Afghans keep the Taliban out of power.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17996378\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" readability=\"38\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Afghanistan-evacuation-board-plane-U.S.-Air-Force-via-ap.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17996378 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Afghanistan-evacuation-board-plane-U.S.-Air-Force-via-ap.jpg\" alt width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Afghan passengers board a U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III during the Afghanistan evacuation at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, on&nbsp;August 22, 2021.
