Given how hard the Americans fought against allowing any people from Iraq and Afghanistan to seek refuge in America, I wouldn't be surprised if the number of Arabic speakers who want to work with the Democrats is a rapidly dwindling number.
Afghanistan doesn't speak Arabic
I am well aware of that fact that Afghanistan doesn't speak Arabic. However the invasion and occupation of both Iraq and Afghanistan required the recruitment of a lot of locals who were able to translate for the occupational authorities. Said translators then had their applications for asylum denied in most of the West, despite being a pretty important cog in the imperial machine, because the west chose to prioritize domestic political concerns over the welfare of the people who had risked their lives to help them. Sorry if my last sentence seems too lib, but the way these people were so easily discarded was an important part of my radicalization and leftward movement.
