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.

That would be a good reason to revolt against this government.

No!!!

Let their Arab brethren take them in as refugees.
They don’t want them???! Maybe it’s because their brethren KNOW the so-called Palestinians are reprobate trash - incapable of living in civilization.

The rats think they can placate the muzzies who are upset with the D’s because of Israel support by bringing thousands of Palis here. As always the good of the country is not even a consideration.

No! There’re many countries with their belief systems in the Mideast

Arab countries should take them in even Egypt

If they come here, many will be Hamas

We have enough terrorists here already.

Some even members of Congress!

Those thieving ahos can have protected status in Gaza. There is no reason to bring those America-hating thieves and their war here.
