Reps. Andy Ogles (R-TN), Tom Tiffany (R-WI), and Scott Perry (R-PA), as well as dozens of Senate Republicans, are moving to prevent President Joe Biden from resettling Palestinians in American communities.
In a letter to House Appropriators, Ogles, Tiffany, and Perry ask that a provision be included in the Fiscal Year 2025 spending bill that prohibits expenditures "Of any funds to issue a visa or grant parole to any alien holding a passport issued by the Palestinian Authority."
Their letter comes as the Biden administration reportedly considers using the federal government's refugee resettlement program to bring Palestinians to the United States.
"Mindlessly allowing hundreds of thousands of unvetted Palestinian aliens into our nation is an unacceptable threat to national security," Ogles told Breitbart News.
Tiffany told Breitbart News, "It isn't America's responsibility, or in America's best interest, to let Joe Biden continue treating our country as a dumping ground for the rest of the world's problems," and suggested Palestinians be resettled "In other countries in the region, not here."
Sen. Joni Ernst is among 35 Senate Republicans asking Biden to provide specifics about his Palestinian refugee resettlement program, including the number the administration is looking to import.
Last year, Ogles and Tiffany introduced the "GAZA Act" which would ban the Biden administration from issuing visas to Palestinians.
