STEVE CORTES (HOST): Do we owe a moral obligation to Afghan nationals? Yes, to some who took great risk for our operations there, I really think we do. But they should stay in the region. We have bases all over the Middle East and we have regional allies with populations that share a culture and a faith with these Afghanis. It is time for those countries to step up and for them to provide refuge, not the United States. Bringing potentially hundreds of thousands of Afghanis to America - this is a terrible idea.

Now, we should learn from the disastrous experience Europe had with Afghani men and systemic sex crimes against women. Just a few weeks ago, a thirteen-year-old girl was raped and murdered in Austria and three Afghani migrants have been charged with that heinous crime. And because of that crime, Austrian Chancellor Kurz, he made it clear just weekend that Austria will not accept any Afghan refugees. Statistics show, as I detail in my new op-ed, that that terrible case in Austria, it is hardly isolated. And it's not just an outlier, it's the worst example but it's not an outlier. Police numbers show the relatively small Afghan population there in Austria commits an astonishing half of all sexual assaults in that country. According to the Hoover Institution at Stanford, according to their research, once the giant wave of Afghan migration to Austria began in 2015, total sexual assaults there grew by a staggering 53% over the next four years. As The Wall Street Journal reported, next door in Germany, foreign-born residents right now account for one third of all sex crime suspects.

Now, given these realities Europe, is the mass migration of Afghan men to America really a good idea? Good for your wife, your daughter? The left will call us racist for opposing any amount of migration at all since they believe in open borders. But we have to brave enough put up with their ridiculous aspersions. And brave enough to discuss cultural differences that matter.

Will these Afghans share our values, will they try to assimilate into the American way of life? It's not likely. A Pew Research poll found that a stunning, stunning 99%, nearly unanimous, of Afghans believe that Sharia should be the official law of the land. Let me repeat that, 99% of Afghans believe that Sharia should be the official law of land.




Guess this is the new "migrant caravan" lie.

1. The husband and father of that wife and daughter

Poses a much greater threat to them than any stranger. Most women and children more likely to experience violence and sexual abuse/assault from someone within the household than some fear-mongering bigot's mythical darker-skinned boogeyman.

2. "They's comin' fer the flower of yer white womanhood!..."

Shit. They never dream up any new boogeymen, do they?...

3. The right

Don’t like the competition. Specifically the American Taliban Evangelical Right doesn’t want any one stalling their push to oppress women

4. American women won't even wear a mask to save their lives, doubt they will wear a burqa.

6. I think some women T-Baggers Trumpettes

would gladly donn a burka, or at least make other American women and girls wear them.

7. You are probably right. They won't wear a mask but would gladly wear a burka if told to do so by

the orange f-wad and his flying monkeys.

5. I don't think so. Afghan men are used to submissive women...who is really in danger here? nt

8. DU member says the misogyny of Texan men poses a threat to "your wife, your daughter"

fixed it

9. If I had a daughter, I would keep a closer watch on...

certain congessmen.

And maybe an ex-governor.

10. Without going to look them all up, I would guess every stat he uses is a lie.

This is nothing but fascist propaganda.

12. Another irresponsible NewsMax headline story, probably w/o evidence of any kind, and...

simply designed solely to drive up ratings for NewsMax. Where's the evidence in accusing a whole group of Afghans of these supposed crimes?
