Afghanistan is one of the most backward countries on the planet. And yet, the Biden administration imported thousands of people from that country, mostly unscreened, mostly unvetted, and just released them into the United States.
That practice is yielding bitter fruit. In the latest episode of "We Caught Another Afghan Terrorist in the United States," we learned on Thursday that Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) has scooped up another Afghan import with alleged ties to a terrorist group, ISIS-K.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have arrested Afghan national Jaan Shah Safi, an alleged ISIS-K supporter brought into the country under former President Joe Biden's Operation Allies Welcome, in Waynesboro, Virginia.
Safi was arrested as President Donald Trump and his administration confront a surge of terror cases tied to Afghan arrivals that occurred under the Biden administration.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Wednesday that Safi arrived in the U.S. on Sept. 8, 2021, in Philadelphia.
He applied for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), though his application was terminated when DHS Secretary Kristi Noem ended TPS for Afghans.
Safi is reported to be a supporter of ISIS-K, or Islamic State Khorasan Province, the branch of ISIS that works in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and other countries in that region. The Islamic State is one of the more vicious Islamic terror groups operating, and the Biden administration let this supporter of theirs just waltz right into the United States.
Afghanistan has been known, for centuries, as the graveyard of empires. The British, the Soviets, and even going back as far as the Mongols, all have invaded Afghanistan, and all in the end gave it up as a bad deal, as did the United States.
And the Biden administration seemed determined to import that graveyard of empires into the United States.
Is it such an old-fashioned notion that the United States should only import people who are going to be a positive addition to the nation? Is it so outrageous to suggest that we don't have to import anyone from anywhere without checking their background, just because they claim to be a refugee?
That is, of course, precisely what the Biden administration did.
The DHS accused the Biden administration of relying on unvetted referrals to admit nearly 190,000 Afghan nationals into the U.S.
The Trump administration put a stop to Afghan refugee resettlement after Trump returned to the Oval Office in January because it saw the program as a massive threat to national security.
Safi’s arrest marks the third of an Afghan national who was released into the country under Biden in less than a week, according to DHS.
A "massive threat to national security" may be something of an understatement.

This isn't a problem limited to Afghanistan "refugees." We have, for years now, imported people from a wide variety of third-world countries, ranging from Somalia to Haiti. Years of Democratic non-enforcement of the borders have welcomed in millions more. And now, once more, we still have no idea where many of them are, or what they are doing.
Perhaps more concerning is the fact that there may be as many as 200,000 Chinese nationals, also illegally in the United States. We don't know where many of them are or what they are doing, either.
