While the US admitted about 70,000 Afghans into the country on an emergency basis in 2021, the measure is temporary, and these people remain in legal limbo.
That is to say, their current temporary status is itself the achievement that Biden has accomplished (once initially and one renewal so far), and that Harris will presumably continue and Trump will presumably revoke.
I know you already know this and just don’t care, but for the sanity of anybody else reading: it is obviously true and centrally relevant that being punched in the face once is better than being punched in the face a thousand times, even moreso when you’re about to pick which one is about to happen to you.
If 4 years of Biden couldn’t give them residency, I doubt another 4 of the same is going to do any difference.
For those who wish to point out that Donald would be worse, congratulations on pointing out that none of the candidates will do any good for them.
Biden used a policy called Humanitarian Parole, an extended temporary process stay which requires presidential renewal every 2 years.

Yes promising full residency and keeping them permanently in limbo is an achievement. It wouod have been better if they didnt help US.
