Democrats across Congress are calling on President Biden to allow Palestinians entry into the U.S. on humanitarian grounds as war drags on in Gaza.
Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin, D-Ill., together with Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., and Pramila Jayapal, D-Was., led a letter of 103 colleagues to the president asking him to grant the Palestinian territories Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and/or authorize Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) for Palestinians already living in the U.S.
The TPS program allows those from war-torn or crisis-wracked countries to legally live and work in the U.S., but does not give them permanent residency.
It allows nationals from those countries who are in the U.S. and 18-month reprieve and can be renewed indefinitely.
DED prevents unlawful immigrants from such countries from being deported for a designated time period.
Countries that currently have TPS include: Afghanistan, Ukraine, Syria, Yemen, Burma, El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Venezuela, Nepal, Nicaragua, Kuwait, Cameroon and Sudan.
'In light of ongoing armed conflict, Palestinians already in the United States should not be forced to return to the Palestinian territories, consistent with President Biden’s stated commitment to protecting Palestinian civilians,' the lawmakers wrote.
Some 7,200 Palestinians were here on temporary visas in 2022, according to State Department statistics.
'While the number of non-immigrant visas issued cannot provide an exact approximation of the number of Palestinians that would be eligible for TPS or DED, it makes clear that the number of beneficiaries would be small, while the benefit could be lifesaving,' the letter read.

The enemy truly is already here and walking the halls of power…
If this issue does not get normally non-marching Republicans marching in the street, maybe nothing will.
Not just NO! Eff NO!
What could possible go wrong?
It’s all part of the master plan for the destruction of the United States.
We didn’t even get involved in the war, but we might end up with the ugly consequences.
Has there been any temporary protected status which was truly temporary in the last 40 years?
In Gaza, everyone is Hamas. Even women and children. They are all indoctrinated by Hamas.
Yeah. The c***s******* want to bring a friggin’ Muzzie war to America. What is making these crazy ass bass turds vote for Democrats? I know killing babies is a “wildly popular” pastime in this country but telling your massahs to move a Muzzie terrorist war to America is going beyond FULL RETARD.
Bat shit crazy!!!
Outlaw Democrat Party and
exile their asses. They,along with Biden and Obama are a danger to our and the nation’s health.
But who’s going to protect the American citizens ???
.
I’m sure the Senate will get behind it.
.
Hamas doesn’t want them to leave, because they need as many human shields as possible.
It is in this way only, that I am a supporter of Hamas.

After 5 years the cockroaches can apply for full citizenship if they are here "legally," no matter the means.
The commie-progs damn well know it, they are spouting bullshit for the weak-minded.
.
The Democrats need the Muslim vote. They are willing to sacrifice the country for the muslim vote
Everyone one of them will be hunting Jews on U.S. soil.
Why would we want to import more problems to our country? Don’t we have enough problems already?
