Democrats tell Biden to let Palestinians stay in the U.S. as the Gaza war rages: More than 100 lawmakers urge White House to grant them protected immigration status

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.

No nation in the entire world wants the ‘Palestininians’ inhabiting their country, so leave it to the Democrats in the USA to open their arms to them.... to help destroy the nation they hate all that more rapidly.

I live in Illinois, and we already have PLENTY of 'Palestinians' in the southwest suburbs of CRook county, not far from where I live.

Someone should call this psycho DemonRATs bluff and tell Jan Schakowsky "Sure, we'll agree to let MORE 'Palestinian refugees' live in the USA indefinitely on ONE condition: they get to settle in all the nice JEWISH suburbs YOU represent in the FAR NORTH suburbs, such as Evanston, Skokie, Northfield, etc., etc.

I'm sure the locals will get along SPLENDIDLY with the members of the "religion of peace"!

Right, Jan? The local synagogues up there just can't wait to have a bunch of guys named Mohammad move in next door... and... HELLO??? WHERE DID YOU GO, JAN??? ::crickets chirp::

Those opposed should pen & sign a counter letter that Arab nations must offer the Palestinians a safe harbor. Why do Republicans have to be told how to counter the communist Democrats?

The people in the West Bank and gaza should go to Iran.
Joe Biden, Kamala, Antony Blinken, Robert Malley and cia director Burns helped the Iranians get rich by lifting oil sanctions, giving $$$ to Iran for releasing hostages and helping Iran fund Hamas. So with those stellar White House connections, Iran would be the Palestinians best bet.

The second night of the Hamas savagery I grimly joked here that the West Bank hordes would be welcomed to American welfare with free housing as “refugees.”

I can’t stand it that it came true.

In Gaza, everyone is Hamas. Even women and children. They are all indoctrinated by Hamas.

They are indoctrinated by what is written in Arabic and in true translations of the Holy Koran.

Then this needs to be required reading in all high schools and colleges.

Every Jew and every American, well for that matter, every European needs to read a true translation of the Holy Quran or Koran.

Then they might understand why this is happening and why it will never stop happening. IMHO these are probably the most accurate translations, and they are FREE.

Please save copies of this in case it is removed from Gutenberg.

So far it has been there for over 30 years.

If people would only read it to understand what we are up against.
