The Montagnards that helped our special forces did not get much help in the end that I ever heard of.

We brought lots of South Viet Nam residents to the US when we left Saigon. And a lot of German scientist and top officials after WW2. Sure that all got new names and jobs.

They helped us we help them it’s the American way, if we keep walking away from people that we had their backs then left behind nobody would trust us again most don’t now. If not for Politicians we might win some wars again better yet not have any to begin with. I agree and I am not saying we should not bring these 221 people here , it is really sad we keep ending wars like this , think Mong peoples , we couldn't win so we brough them here , it would have been better if we could have found a way to win but hey , land wars in Asia and all
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

They earned it and we owe them. Keith

The Montagnards are like our Indians and the Hmong are the New World invaders that left China.

We already had a beheading in Minnesota the other day. Expect more of that soon.
And the suspect in custody is a "christian" that was born and raised here.

Trump started the program to move the Afgan eyes out and close the war over there, Biden finishing the job. China will soon move in and give it a try just like the US and Russians before us. I'm guessing the Chinese will do business different. China moving into South America and dumping tons of money in and staying out of the politics. Who really cares how Afgans rule their country we are not going to stop terrorism over there or anywhere else. Best we try to deal with it here as best we can and our own civil war. We should have learned our lesson in Vietnam, but war is big money started by politicians at the cost of our young and parents burying their children. We've been giving Iraqis, Afghans and Iranians, American citizenship, for working with our special forces since at least the late seventies. Keith

We have a lot of Hmong in WI , they seem to like it fine so many that the state publishes all our hunting and Fishing Regs in Hmong
the Lutheran church sponsored a lot of them in WI an MN
had a guy that frequented the auto shop I worked at years ago , he had been worked with our troops in Vietnam as a scout and was able to move here after the war , he was an interesting guy always wore fatigue pants and sandals

We owe it to these people who helped us, however misguided our mission may have been. Better to shelter them here than to abandon them to a bunch of murderous religious fanatics.
And we owe them support for an initial period when they get here until they can find jobs and begin assimilation into a foreign culture. Culture shock will probably be extreme.
We are the USA. We stand with our friends, and against our enemies.

Even though I disagree with a lot of our unnecessary military interventions, I generally agree that we should not leave assistance providing natives high and dry. I am not interested in subsidizing them with U.S. tax dollars though. The can learn to drive a cab and pay their own way.
But have y'all considered that these are MUSLIMS? That's right, more Muslims en route to the U.S. These guys aren't getting that money. That money will be channeled through various "agencies" for pet projects and paybacks for favors. Worked with some great terps on my deployments. We put them in a no win situation. We paid better than the terrorists did, but by taking a job with us it put a target on not only their back but their families as well. Had a terp on my second deployment to Iraq who had his oldest son executed in front of him because he was working for us. He hated al Qaeda more than anyone in this country. If they're left over there, they're as good as dead. I'd bet there will be many that get killed before this program helps them relocate. I'd rather help these guys than the freaking fence jumpers coming up from Mexico. At least they served a purpose other than a guaranteed vote for the dems.
