I know there is a
lot of bipartisan support in this body to do that. So today I am
introducing the Keep Our Promise to Our Afghan Allies Act with Senators
McCain, Reed, and Tillis. This legislation would authorize additional
special immigrant visas and would help ensure that the program does not
lapse and leave behind thousands of Afghans who helped us with the
threat by the Taliban. In addition, I intend to work closely with Senators who are
negotiating legislation to fund the Federal Government in order to
ensure that additional visas are included. I urge my colleagues to join
me. Let's keep the promise we made to our Afghan allies and support
these efforts.
