Can we please stop training these foreigners if we can't control their whereabouts?

I understand why we train them here but yes, why can't we control their whereabouts?!

Senators Want Special Visas for Afghans Who Helped US Military

A bipartisan group of U.S. senators is pushing a bill to extend and expand a special immigrant visa program for Afghans that has been supported by Defense Secretary Jim Mattis but opposed in the past by other top members of the Trump administration.

The State Department on March 1 stopped doing interviews for applicants to the program at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul.

The bill, called "Keeping Our Promise to Our Afghan Allies Act" and introduced last week by four members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, would provide for an additional 2,500 visas for Afghans who worked for the U.S. military for at least a year.

The Special Immigrant Visa program also allows Afghan pilots and maintainers to train on the A-29 Super Tucano ground attack aircraft at Moody Air Force Base in Georgia. The plan is to have at least 30 Afghan pilots and 90 maintainers go through the training cycle at Moody through 2018.
