Controversy Erupts Over Calls For US To Accept Gaza Refugees Amid Israel–Hamas War
[ET via ZERO] Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), a member of the left-wing "Squad" in Congress, was cited by the New York Post as calling for the United States to "welcome refugees from Palestine," while Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.) has introduced legislation that would block people with Palestinian passports from being admitted into the country."We can't let President Biden abuse our parole and visa rules to bring unvetted Palestinians into American communities the way he did with thousands of unvetted Afghans," Mr. Tiffany said in a statement posted on X, referring to the Biden administration's decision to let 76,000 unvetted Afghan refugees come to the United States following the U.S. withdrawal and Taliban takeover of the country. "I introduced the GAZA Act to protect America’s national security." He also shared the contents of the Guaranteeing Aggressors Zero Admission (GAZA) Act exclusively with Breitbart. The proposal would block the Biden administration's use of the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) parole mechanism from letting Palestinians settle in the United States, according to the text of the measure, as cited by Breitbart.
