U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro said the Afghan Adjustment Act pending in Congress, which could affect tens of thousands of humanitarian paroles, “should be adopted by the end of the year.”
“It’s been swirling around for many months now,” she said.
Constantino said many of the 4,600 Afghan refugees she’s helped are among the American allies who were granted 24 months of humanitarian parole in the U.S.However, if they haven’t applied for asylum or received their green cards, Constantino said those refugees and their families risk being deported back to Afghanistan.
A refugee who only identified himself as “Mohammed” for security reasons said, thankfully, he has his green card, but many others are worried. He said to return to Afghanistan would mean retribution or even death at the hands of the Taliban or trying to survive in a country where people are starving and don’t even have wood to burn for warmth in the bitter cold.He said the first was being forced to flee their homeland, and the other is “to send people back to Afghanistan.”“Please, please, please, pass the act,” he said.
