“The news media’s focus on illegal immigration prevents crucial dialogue on something more important: legal immigration.  Launched in 2007, the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program provides visas to Iraqi and Afghan interpreters who face an ‘ongoing serious threat’ in their own countries because of the ‘faithful and valuable service’ they rendered to the U.S. government. It is a straightforward program with bipartisan support.  However, SIV is a bureaucratic mess; restrictions and backlogs have stranded former U.S. allies overseas, where they and their families are targeted for harm even though they were promised visas as part of their recruitment.”
