  • The US government should give priorities to asylum visas for people like Omar. There were many like him left behind in Iraq under constant threat for working and helping the US Army. Is that their reward now; Instead of giving green cards to scum from Mexico and China that don’t even speak English. When was the last time a Mexican or a Chinese saved any Americans’ lives?

    The US government should be ashamed of themselves.

    Obama is as useless as Bush.

    that right put do you know how many month's this proses get ? over a year , are you sure no one will get hurt ??

  • Most of the translator did a good job out there , everyday they are risking in them won life to help them country by giving the american and the Iraqis the ability to understand each others and the result for that is getting killed , lost a family member or at lest displacement

    that is not fear why the american gives the translator's names and adders es to the Iraqi government if all we know it's Infiltrated , did Omar & all the translator deserve that ???
