California students and parents stranded in Afghanistan – how did that happen? HotAir

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) is helping a group of California students and their parents stranded in Afghanistan. About 24 students and 16 adults are desperate to leave as the window of opportunity to get them out quickly closes. What began as a summer trip to visit Afghan relatives before the United States military leaves the country has turned into a test of basic survival.

Why are Americans taking a summer trip to Afghanistan in the first place? That s the first thought of anyone looking at the story. The reason given is that they are all Afghanistan refugees themselves and they wanted to go back, likely for the last time, to see family members and friends still there. They knew that with Biden s plans for withdrawal from the country, they may never see those family members again.

These students now live in El Cajon, just north of Jamul.
