Nonsense and hypocrisy by the Americans. Americans have dumped hundreds of south American refugees into refugee camps along the border with Mexico. Many are young children who have been sexually abused and raped by immigration officials.I DEMAND that america keeps it's borders open for afghan refugees. They created the mess in afghanistan in the first place, let them deal with it.
Agree wholeheartedly! Border with Afghanistan and Iran needs to be sealed with only legitimate entry points.I will say again seal the border, we cannot afford 20 more years of instability.
They bring in drugs, they bring in crime, they are terrorists and some I believe are good peopleMake a refugees camp inside Afghanistan, paid for by US, UN, UK or whoever was in Afghanistan.

I guess Trump's idea of building a wall does fit in well with our situation.I hope the military did a good job building and fortifying that border fence...or else we are proper faked!

WASHINGTON: The United States wants Pakistan to keep its borders with Afghanistan open for Afghan refugees, a demand that could strain already tense relations between the two countries.
“So, in a place like Pakistan, it’ll be important that their borders remain open,” said a senior State Department official while briefing journalists on the new US refugee admission programme for Afghan nationals.
“Obviously, if people go north or if they go via Iran to Turkey …(they) have an opportunity both to enter the country as well as to register with either the government or with UNHCR,” the official added.
The new programme, announced on Monday, applies to those who worked on US-funded projects and to Afghans employed by a US-based media or non-governmental organisation (NGO).
An earlier programme, known as the Special Immigration Visa (SIV), covers interpreters and others who worked for the US government agencies, and their families.
Besides Pakistan, the US State Department has also asked Turkey to allow Afghans to stay in the country for up to 14 months before they are resettled in the United States.
National Security Adviser Moeed Yusuf said at a briefing in Washington this week that arrangements should be made to keep displaced Afghans inside their country instead of pushing them into Pakistan.
“Why make them dar-ba-dar (homeless)? Make arrangements for them inside their country. Pakistan does not have the capacity to take more refugees.”
The Turkish government too has criticised the US plan to use third countries to resettle Afghans, saying the move would cause a “great migration crisis” in the region.
“We do not accept the irresponsible decision taken by the United States without consulting our country,” the Turkish Ministry Foreign Ministry said in a statement issued in Ankara.
“If the United States wants to take these people to its country, it is possible to transfer them directly to their country by planes.”
There are two countries that can play a pivotal role in this resettlement plan, Iran and Pakistan. Since the United States does not have diplomatic relations with Iran, US policy makers look at Pakistan to help them implement this programme.
Pakistan, however, appears reluctant to do so. Since 1979, Pakistan has hosted millions of Afghans and more than three million are permanently settled in the country. Pakistani officials argue that their economy is not strong enough to absorb more refugees.

These would be afghan refugees should be directly transported to their new refugee camps in India. Pakistan should allow such flights to over fly it's air space, bringing the two lovers together ( indians and afghans).US wants Pakistan to keep Afghan border open for DPs
