Palestinians could be banned from entering the United States, and those who are already in the country could be at risk of being expelled under a new bill proposed by House Republicans this week.

​

Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) introduced the Safeguarding Americans from Extremism Act on Thursday, seeking to prevent “Palestinian terrorists” from entering the country by halting the Department of Homeland Security from issuing visas or granting asylum to individuals seeking to enter the country with a Palestinian Authority passport. The bill would also expel any immigrants who were granted visas or entered the country on or after Oct. 1.

​

“I don’t trust the Biden administration any more than I do the Palestinian Authority to screen who is allowed to come into the United States,” Zinke said. “This is the most anti-Hamas immigration legislation I have seen, and it’s well deserved. Given the circumstances, the threats to our immigration system, and the history of terrorists abusing refugee, asylum, and visa processes all over the world, the requirements in this bill are necessary to keep Americans safe. This bill does exactly that.”

​

The bill would also bar the DHS from granting Palestinians temporary protected status or refugee status, according to the legislation. Additionally, the DHS secretary would be prohibited from paroling immigrants and would revoke any parole granted to Palestinian individuals who entered the country on or after Oct. 1.

​

The legislation would direct the DHS to work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and United States Citizenship and Immigration Services to “identify and remove” any individuals “without lawful status,” including those whose status is newly revoked.

​

The bill has 10 co-sponsors, including Reps. Andy Harris (R-MD), Aaron Bean (R-FL), Ralph Norman (R-SC), Scott DesJarlais (R-TN), Clay Higgins (R-LA), Ronny Jackson (R-TX), Bill Posey (R-FL), Barry Moore (R-AL), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), and Andy Biggs (R-AZ).

​

It’s not yet clear whether the bill would be considered on the House floor, but it’s likely to receive pushback and criticism from Democrats. Even if it did pass the House, it’s unlikely to make any headway in the Democrat-led Senate.

The bill comes after House Republicans introduced a similar bill last month seeking to block the Biden administration from granting visas to individuals with Palestinian passports. However, this legislation takes it a step further by blocking access to the country and removing those who had entered the country after Israel entered into a war against the Hamas militant group.

Biden is in office right now. People shouldn't be so concerned with protecting him from criticism.

He is also bad in his own right wrt Palestine/Israel.


White House Requests “Unprecedented” Loophole That Would Obscure Arms Sales to Israel.
The measure effectively gives Israel a check to purchase $3.5 billion in arms in complete secrecy.

Buried within the $106 billion supplemental national security funding request the White House sent to Congress on October 20 was a highly unusual exemption. As part of $3.5 billion earmarked for Foreign Military Financing (FMF) funding for Israel, the executive branch sought permission to unilaterally blanket-approve the future sale of military equipment and weapons—like ballistic missiles and artillery ammunition — to Israel without notifying Congress.

This means the Israeli government would be able to purchase up to $3.5 billion in military articles and services in complete secrecy. The House included the waiver language in a bill that splits off Israeli military aid from the rest of the package.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” says Josh Paul, former director of congressional and public affairs for the State Department’s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs. Paul recently resigned in protest against the administration’s plans to rush weapons to Israel. “A proposal in a legislative request to Congress to waive Congressional notification entirely for FMF-funded Foreign Military Sales or Direct Commercial Contracts is unprecedented in my experience. … Frankly, [it’s] an insult to Congressional oversight prerogatives.”

FMF requests like this one are essentially grants to purchase weapons and defense services from the United States and its defense contractors. Even after Congress approves an FMF request, it still has power over how the money is spent and can deny major arms sales.

The Congressional approval process also serves another purpose — it creates a public record to ensure transparency. Notifications to Congress appear in the Federal Register, which is accessible to the public. In addition, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) publishes press releases for major arms sales on its website. These public postings are often the only way that journalists, watchdog groups, and arms control experts can learn of and track weapons sales.

“It’s also redundant with existing laws,” Paul says. The White House can unilaterally approve foreign military sales in “emergency” situations but must notify Congress and provide a “detailed justification.” The Israel waiver does not require any communication with Congress.

“So this doesn’t actually reduce the time, it just reduces the oversight,” Paul says. “It removes that mechanism for Congress to actually understand what is being transferred at the time it is being transferred.” Paul adds that the language came from the White House and received “pushback” within the executive branch.
