Afghani who shot two National Guard members entered the U.S. via 'Operation Allies Welcome'

The Afghan national who shot two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. entered the U.S. through Operation Allies Welcome — the program overseen by Alejandro Mayorkas.

Joe Biden put Mayorkas in charge of the mass-resettlement operation following the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan — a program that rushed tens of thousands of unvetted Afghans into American communities.

Today we learned:

The shooter was brought into the United States in 2021 as part of that program.

He was admitted because he “worked with or assisted the U.S. government.”

Background checks were minimal and political pressure was enormous.

His asylum was approved earlier this year.

And now two American service members — heroes — have been shot in broad daylight steps from the White House.

This clip from Mayorkas aged like milk:

“Operation Allies Welcome… The President has designated the Department of Homeland Security to lead the effort… to bring vulnerable Afghans to the United States and support their resettlement.”

They called it “safe.”

They called it “screened.”

They called it “thorough.”

It was none of those things.

Mayorkas built the gateway.

Biden ordered it opened.

And Americans are paying the price.

This is not a mistake.

This is not incompetence.

This is the direct result of a government that threw border security, vetting, and common sense into the shredder.

Two National Guardsmen are fighting for their lives because the people in charge refused to protect the nation.

Mayorkas must face consequences.

Operation Allies Welcome must be investigated.

And America must never again allow ideology to override national security.

Enough is enough.
