Dan Crenshaw, a Republican congressman from Texas, has called for the transfer of eligible Afghan immigrants to the United States, emphasizing the need to evacuate former U.S. allies from Afghanistan. CBS News reported on February 16, 2025, that Crenshaw criticized former President Joe Biden's policies for leaving many eligible Afghans stranded in Afghanistan and other countries. He highlighted that Afghan partners who assisted the U.S. during its 20-year presence in Afghanistan should be brought to the U.S., noting that some qualified Afghans were not evacuated during the 2021 withdrawal, causing frustration. Crenshaw, a former soldier who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, stressed the importance of ensuring the transfer of Afghan allies. Additionally, the suspension of U.S. foreign aid under the Trump administration further destabilized Afghanistan's economy, exacerbating challenges for civilians.
