Staff Reports
The House Oversight Committee, under the leadership of Chairman James Comer (R-KY), is not happy with the Biden State Department’s handling of the Afghan resettlement programs. They are demanding more transparency and answers about the programs and practices that were used to resettle tens of thousands of Afghans in the United States during and after the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Chairman Comer wants to know what exactly went down during these resettlement efforts. He believes that the Biden administration did not properly vet the Afghan citizens before bringing them into the country. I mean, can you blame him? With all the chaos and disarray of the U.S. evacuation from Afghanistan, it’s hard to believe that they were able to vet anyone at all.
The Committee is seeking documents and information about the programs and their contractors. They want to know what contracts, agreements, and memos were involved in this whole operation. They also want to know the purpose, mission, and goals of these programs. I guess they’re trying to figure out if there was any rhyme or reason to all of this.
But the real question is, what’s the plan moving forward? Chairman Comer wants to know if the State Department has any plans to continue or terminate these programs. And more importantly, what are the hiring processes and requirements for the employees and contractors involved in these programs? I mean, it’s not like you want just anyone handling the resettlement of tens of thousands of people, right?
🚨 BREAKING 🚨
Since the Biden Administration’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, more than 70,000 former Afghan nationals have been relocated to communities throughout the United States via U.S. federal programs.

Chairman Comer is serious about getting answers. He wants all the documents and communications that reflect the vetting process. And he’s not just stopping there, he wants a list of all the employees and contractors involved in case management, hiring, and human resources for these programs. He wants to make sure that the American people get the answers they deserve.
It’s about time someone started asking the tough questions. The Biden administration needs to be held accountable for their actions. We can’t just let them sweep this under the rug. Chairman Comer and the House Oversight Committee are doing exactly what they should be doing – demanding answers and transparency. It’s time to get to the bottom of this mess and ensure that the American people’s safety and security are not compromised.
