Up to 100 United states will spend millions of dollars to evacuate those people of the country who cooperated with US troops from Afghanistan. This decision was made by the President of the United States Joe Biden. He has already sent a notice to Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
The funds will be spent through the state fund to help refugees and internally displaced persons. First, they will go on issuing special immigration visas. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, about 2.5 thousand Afghans can claim this document.
However, the media mention other figures – 18,000 Afghans who worked directly for the US military and 53,000 members of their families. Washington can easily evacuate them. In that case, they will be temporarily deployed to Fort Lee Military Base in the state of Virginia in the USA. At the same time, the evacuation does not guarantee that all these people will be able to stay in the United States. Their eligibility for a visa will be assessed in general. And if they are denied residence in the territory of the states, they will simply be deported to their homeland.
