America deserves better than the bungled, last-minute evacuation that left our military and allies exposed while inviting serious questions about who we let into this country. Conservatives — including President Trump and Vice President Vance, as well as countless Republican lawmakers and commentators — have been sounding the alarm over the Biden administration’s rushed vetting after the Afghanistan withdrawal, and their warnings should not be dismissed as partisan whining.
Veteran voices and right-leaning analysts have repeatedly pointed out that what happened in Kabul was not the careful, methodical resettlement our allies and service members earned; it was chaos disguised as a success. Commentators on conservative outlets have rightly hammered home that the real scandal is the lack of transparency and accountability about the criteria used to parole thousands of evacuees into American communities.
Even military leaders admitted the process was compressed and imperfect — moving tens of thousands through expedited channels without the full suite of normal vetting steps that usually take months or years. That admission should chill every American who cares about homeland security; we cannot let bureaucracy or political spin override the simple duty to protect our citizens.
Republican members of Congress and conservative governors pushed for answers because this isn’t abstract policy — it’s a question of whether people who stood shoulder to shoulder with our troops were properly identified, and whether potential threats were screened out. Those calls for “extreme vetting” were not xenophobic reflexes but commonsense demands for the same safeguards we expect for any large-scale resettlement.
Left-wing cheerleading about an “airlift victory” cannot erase reality: proper immigration and refugee vetting is a painstaking, multi-step process that you don’t shortcut without paying a price. Americans are right to insist on full public accounting of who was admitted and what checks were performed before they’re settled into our neighborhoods and schools.
President Trump’s bluntness — calling out the failures of the Biden era and demanding real answers — is what leadership looks like in a crisis: defend the homeland first, explain yourself second. If conservatives keep pressing, if governors and Congress do their jobs, we can force the transparency and reforms necessary to restore confidence in our national-security posture.
This fight is about more than partisan advantage; it’s about keeping hardworking Americans safe and holding an administration accountable that thought haste was an acceptable substitute for prudence. Patriots should stand with leaders who put security first, demand rigorous vetting, and refuse to let spin masks catastrophic incompetence.
