Evacuating the Non-Taliban

For John, BLUF:  I don't think we can evacuate every Afghan who has seen a new way of life and does not wish to again be under the Taliban.  That said, I think we should try.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

In desperation U.S. scours for countries willing to house Afghan refugees

From MSM, by Reuters Reporters Idrees Ali, Humeyra Pamuk and Jonathan Landay, 14 August 2021.

Here is the lede plus one:

President Joe Biden's administration has been holding secret talks with more countries than previously known in a desperate attempt to secure deals to temporarily house at-risk Afghans who worked for the U.S. government, four U.S. officials told Reuters.

The previously unreported discussions with such countries as Kosovo and Albania underscore the administration's desire to protect U.S.-affiliated Afghans from Taliban reprisals while safely completing the process of approving their U.S. visas.

Does that mean Afghan Refugees are like Cubans, not worthy of being allowed into the United States?  Or does the Administration wish to land them in Mexico, so they can enter via the established immigration process along the Rio Grande?

Which raises an additional question.  Why is Catholic Charities considered worthy by the Federal Government to deal with these immigrants along our Southern Border when it (Catholic Charities) is offering neither birth control nor abortion services?.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
