The vast majority of those were Afghans fleeing the Taliban, and roughly 65,000 of those Afghans were taken in by the U.S. and transported to U.S. military bases around the world, including in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cLast week, the White House asked Congress to allocate $6.4 billion to help Afghan refugees resettle in the U.S., according to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/09\/10\/white-house-requests-change-to-allow-afghan-refugees-to-collect-welfare\/\"><span class=\"s1\">New York Post<\/span><\/a>. Part of the funds would go toward providing welfare benefits and legal identification to each migrant processed and paroled into the United States between July 30 and September 30 this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Biden administration\u2019s disastrous policy led to the rushed evacuation of allies and Americans, while many citizens in the U.S. attempted to take matters into their own hands to help get people out of the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Earlier this week, The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-state-dept-went-silent-for-a-week-after-congressional-office-asked-for-help-evacuating-americans-from-afghanistan-report\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a> that the \u201cBiden administration\u2019s State Department went silent for a week as a Congressional office struggled to get their help evacuating Americans from Afghanistan, according to an exclusive report from the Daily Caller.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cRep.
