Biden had originally started evacuating Kabul residents from the airport. He was meant to get out American civilians and all those who were there during wartime, including holders of SIV. However, initially there were very few people on board the planes. People noticed and reported that Biden was being criticised for having not gotten his allies out sooner.
However, the Biden Team began getting on more planes. But he didn’t only leave behind hundreds of Americans but also over 80,000 SIVs as well as others who had contributed to America.
He got out who? I’ve always believed that when he started getting flack for not getting people out, they started putting pretty much anyone they could on the plane to pump up the numbers so it could look like he was getting people out. It didn’t matter if they were the people they wanted to evacuate, or if they were vetted. Despite them saying they carefully vet everyone. This very act of taking people into consideration meant even more people were able to crash at the airport to try to avoid being stopped by the Americans who helped them.
Now Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) has released an email of an internal administration communication pretty much showing that and that Joe Biden himself directed people to be put on planes whether they were vetted or not and even if they hadn’t helped America.

“This email was shared [with] me by an American official present in Afghanistan during the evacuation who was shocked by administration’s failure to vet Afghans before they were evacuated,” Hawley said. “Email details orders from Joe Biden to fill up the planes—even without vetting.”
Gregory Floyd, Wednesday, August 18, sent this email. Floyd was Consul General in Kabul for the U.S Embassy. He’d only been on the job since July according to his LinkedIn page. Here’s a quick overview of the training. Here’s what it said.
Your Team
Ambassador Wilson was contacted by President Biden with this directive: Who should be cleared to board the evacuation flight?
“1. Any person with a valid ID should be allowed to board a plane if they fall into one of the following categories: U.S. citizens and LPRs, LES and their immediate family, LES and their immediate families and those who are entitled to an SIV or Afghans at Risk.
2. Families with mothers and their children must be admitted and allowed to board the planes.
3. To be considered a total inflow, the US must have more seats than available. Err on the side of excess.”
These guidelines give clear direction and discretion to fill the seats, and provide special consideration to women and children when there are seats available. C-17 volume is expected to increase.
We are grateful.

They were likely lying about their vetting process and deceiving the public by claiming they had vetted everyone. “Afghans at risk” and “Families with women and children” are categories that don’t have to have any relation to helping America and wouldn’t have any prior vetting it they were just showing up at the airport. It was clear the goal was simply to fill the seats – right people or not.
Free Beacon
Hawley pressed the issues on Tuesday during a Senate hearing with Colin Kahl, the Pentagon’s undersecretary for defense policy and the administration official largely responsible for overseeing the Biden administration’s botched evacuation.
“We now know that we’ve got major problems of vetting of the people who were brought to this country, who were evacuated and brought to this country,” Hawley said. “So, you testified in September that those evacuated, about 6,000 American citizens, you testified in September that the [Special Immigrant Visas] were about 1,200 to 1,300, that leaves about 116,700 people, based on the 124,000 neo-number that you’ve been offering, 116,700 people who were not citizens, who were not SIVs, and we just don’t know much about who were those people?”
Kahl, in response to Hawley’s questions, said that about 84 percent of the Afghans evacuated by the Biden administration were deemed to be at risk under Taliban rule. “It’s a mishmash of a lot of different categories,” Kahl said.
So if 84% of the people rescued of that 124,000 number were “at risk” meaning not necessarily having any relation to helping America at all – 104,160 of those they got out fell into that category, assuming that number is accurate. Then they ask why are there still reports of trouble? They basically threw random people on the plane – who knows who they are – from a country with a bunch of terrorists as well. And maybe what’s most despicable about all this – while Biden was doing it to try to cover himself and make it look like he was getting out people – the real people he was supposed to get out, tens of thousands, are still trapped.
