Mr. Speaker. at a time when we just get debating a lot of tough things. it is great to see times when Republicans and Democrats can come together and do things for those that fight hard on behalf of our country and on behalf of theirs. The Special Immigrant Visa program was designed to provide safe refuge to the countless brave Afghan men and women who willingly put their lives on the line and served shoulder to shoulder with our servicemembers in Operation Enduring Freedom. This program is critical to our national security and to our servicemembers and veterans in any future engagement that will likely come at some point in the future. The SIV programs provide lifesaving protections to those who served in U.S. missions and now are in danger as a result at the end of that service.
