If a person has served as an interpreter, or given exemplary service to United States armed forces in a combat zone, and can be fully vetted, then there should be a mechanism that would permit such individuals (and only their immediate family) a path to the U.S.

There is such a mechanism, and it's described in the article. But its conditions are so onerous many translators will be left to be killed by extremists.

they are admitting their country is beyond help and they're just looking for a way out.

Not that that's true, but if it is they still risked their lives to help American soldiers. That deserves loyalty in return. But even if it didn't, if we don't do what we promised (and yes many of them were promised visa's to the land of opportunity) we'll never get that help again. And are you really suggesting these people stood up against ISIS forces and other extremists for years because they want to become terrorists in America instead? It beggars belief.
