Dem Sen. Murphy: I Don't Know How Many Legal Permanent Residents Want to Leave Afghanistan, But I Think 'Many of Them Want to Stay'

On Tuesday's broadcast of CNN's "The Lead," Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said that while he doesn't know how many U.S. legal permanent residents in Afghanistan want to leave, he believes "many" of the thousands who are in Afghanistan "want to stay" in the country and "we're talking about a much smaller number of green card holders that desire to get to the United States." And "they had the ability to come to the United States during the entire time that they've held that green card. They probably stayed in Afghanistan for a reason."
