Afghan Refugees op/ed by Ambassador Tariq Osman Hyder

[KingQamaR]

True. Lots of people I spoke to said all the deported came back later anyway and perhaps even more.

The locals complaining that they back. Then stop employing them as cheap labour.

Pakistanis are already cheap labour. How much cheaper do they want it?

Pakistani labor has been fleeing to the Gulf and were substituted by Afghans. Now that the Afghans are being expelled, it is having a negative impact on many industries like construction who are struggling to find both manual and skilled labor. Its not like every person in Pakistan actually wants to work.

This retired ambassador is a useless fool.

There's 200+ million people in the country. There is chronic unemployment.

There is no shortage of labour.

BS. There is no shortage, afghanis just worked for lower wages. And if afghanis going back increases wages then good.

Thats just a number. Businessess in Pakistan are perennially struggling to hire and retain the right people, because the country's education system foolishly prioritized doctors and engineers when in reality an econony needs all sorts of workers. Afghan manual and skilled labor was helping in replacing valuable Pakistani labor which has been aggressively headhunted by GCC for last 40 years.

Lot of utterly unqualified and lazy junk labor in Pakistan also that nobody wants to employ.

Pakistan's overpopulation , teensy weensy economy and zero workers rights are what lowered wages. It wasnt Afghans. Wages in Pakistan were terrible long before 1980.

Who hires Kabari, rairi walay, dukandaar, and so on? Who checks taxi drivers license or CNIC? It's the state's job to enforce immigration laws. Otherwise what is it good for? Can't provide electricity, so people got solar, can't provide water so long live tanker mafia, can't provide gas so the zalalat of cylinders, can't provide security so begs for aman Lashkar. Now can't even deport tandoor Wala?

Get something done about it.

And how do the Pakistanis of that country let this happen it's wrong and disgraceful to them. They need do something about it then.

Pakistan’s Embassy and Consulates in Afghanistan have been issuing an unsustainable 240,000 visas a year for some years. It is time to end that, to be replaced by in- person interviews, otherwise we will only be recycling the overall problem, particularly its security aspects

Update on this.

In-person interviews are in. Afghans are screaming across the border. Calling it "torture and humiliation". Lolz

What "torture and humiliation?" Pakistan is NOT their country. They have NO right to be in Pakistan. The war in afghanistan is over. Time to go home. Pakistan for Pakistanis ONLY!!!!!......

I understand the security and economic arguments. However, an Afghan child born and raised in Pakistan is an Afghan only on paper. There should be a route for him/her to attain Pakistani citizenship, after satisfying the host country's concerns as required.

What happens if they are anti-Pakistani and are going to cause terrorism and commit crime in Pakistan? We need to put our own people first. Not foreigners.

Citizenship programs can have robust vetting procedures. Any anti-state activity can be made grounds for revocation and deportation. You could also treat them the way you treat fellow Pakistani criminals and terrorists.

We can't give out collective punishment for hypothetical individual guilt. Especially to those who can, in essence, be as Pakistani as you and I.
