The Biden administration is exploring ways to expedite bringing Afghan refugees to the United States, Fox News has learned.
"The Biden Administration has surged resources and forged creative solutions to vet, screen, and process SIV [Special Immigrant Visa] applicants at an unprecedented pace—despite inheriting a broken system from the previous administration that had not even conducted interviews for SIV applicants in over 300 days and a refugee resettlement program that had been systematically dismantled," a National Security Council spokesperson told Fox News.
