It is the sense of the Senate that— the special immigrant visa program for Afghan allies is critical to the mission in Afghanistan and the long-term interests of the United States; maintaining a robust special immigrant visa program for Afghan allies is necessary to support United States Government personnel in Afghanistan who need translation, interpretation, security, and other services; Afghan allies routinely risk their lives to assist United States military and diplomatic personnel; honoring the commitments made to Afghan allies with respect to such special immigrant visa program is essential to ensuring the continued service and safety of such allies; and an additional 4,000 visas should be made available to principal aliens who are eligible for special immigrant status under the Afghan Allies Protection Act of 2009 ( 8 U.S.C. 1101 note) to prevent harm to the operations of the United States Government in Afghanistan.
