RUSH EXCERPT:
OMAR: “And I know what some of these people are worried about. It’s that they’re worried that refugees like myself, when they come to this country, will outshine them. But that is just their own failure and their inability to find success in the ways in which refugees have found success in this country. We are going to keep our commitment. We’re going to keep our promise, and we’re going to keep pushing the administration and other countries to do their part. The Afghani people deserve not just our empathy, but they need our partnership and our allyship to make sure that their lives are safe and prosperous.”
