No, We Don't Have a Moral Obligation to Give Visas to Bush's War Allies...

The Report:

60 Minutes, Former CIA director General David Petraeus claims that we have a moral obligation to Afghan allies that helped during the US invasion of Iraq. According to Petraeus we need to take care of them, prove them immigration visas and process them as soon as possible.

“We do have a moral obligation… to take care of them and to provide the Special Immigrant Visa, to process this as quickly as is possible... Frankly, now the urgency is very substantial,” said David Petraeus about the Afghan war allies.

The Eloquence:

This is starting to look like a pandemic of moral retributions where the American people has moral obligations to this or that group of people that was affected this or that many years ago.

First of all, yes, there is a moral obligation to the allies that helped in the war, but that is far from being the American people’s obligation. That is an obligation that George Bush and his people have to them. They are the ones that created such chaos in the middle east, they are the ones benefitting form the oil. They should be the ones taking care of that.

The American people is tired of having to pay for someone’s else actions, including those of the corrupt and incompetent establishment. Is time to say NO. If they want to advocate for immigrant visas, let it be for the immigrants already working here and paying taxes. Everything else besides that should come at the expense of whomever created the given problem.
