Iran ''helped'' the US in freeing the Afghan people from Talib elements yet it has to accept millions of more refugees because it acted in goodwill?
How is this goodwill? Overthrowing a government causes chaos wether that government is secular and progressive like Afghanistan of 1970’s or repressive and backwards like Taliban of 2000’s.
War displaces people see Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Syria, Ukraine, etc.
So no one here is saying Iran is responsible for the refugee crisis. This is mainly a consequence of US and allied invasion, but to say Iran has NO responsibility and only acted in “goodwill” is childish. Sounds like excuse US uses when it invades countries to bring “democracy”. All the countries in the region and world powers have a responsibility for the state of Afghanistan.
The entire world banded together to defeat the Nazi’s, you are telling me they can’t defeat some sandal wearing Neanderthal’s? No political will was never there. Troop count was never there. And countries like Pakistan were aiding the Taliban behind the scenes and providing shelter. Even Iran held senior Taliban leadership.
And newsflash the neighbors (Iran and Pakistan) will be the ones that suffer those consequences. Just like Poland, Germany, etc are suffering consequences of Ukraine war.
Iran cannot stop the refugee crisis even if it deploys 50,000 troops on the border...now you have to feed and house those troops....more cost.
As for the current refugees in Iran, if Iran doesn’t want them then they can begin deportation procedures. It’s quite that simple.
So you need to stop throwing emotional tantrums like a child. If you don’t want the current refugees then deport them. But the second that Iran’s economic conditions improve and the rial strengthens from 27,000 back to sub 15,000 or 10,000 then they will start coming over again to make money (illegally). That was my point.
You can sit and cry all you want that US caused this, but at the end of the day US is leading this world order and is on the other side of the globe. So good luck having them take responsibility.
You see, there's an issue here. A little caveat. A little hair in the soup: We do not have any humanitarian or legal obligation to accept them and provide them with a better life. We are not under any obligation to even help them.
They can live in their own country and try to make it better. It's not our problem.
This is true. So deport them. Obviously since you haven’t deported them yet, there is a reason. Issue isn’t as black and white.
But US deports illegal immigrants all the time, they just come back on further attempts. US border is also much more secure than the Afghan-Iran border and they still get thru. So good luck for Iran trying to secure that porous mountainous border. Human traffickers will find a way.
