"The identitarian right wonders aloud why America should absorb the Afghan interpreters who helped us prosecute a 20-year-war in their country. It cannot see that admitting these refugees is a matter not of immigration policy, but of honor and integrity and preserving these values that, it claims, are central to the American character."

That it claims? Which values are these?

What are likely to be the consequences of admitting tens of thousands of Afghans for resettlement in the United States? Will Afghan men get a pass for sex crimes?

No one ever seems to point out the brutal rapes that afghans perpetrate in Germany to the extent germany is now deporting those people. No one points out Turkey is hardening their border against afghans and Greece is building a border wall against them. Afghans should go to neighboring countries that share their Muslim sensibilities and are close enough they can go back to either fight the taliban or resettle when things die down.
