House Republicans urge Mayorkas to refrain from admitting ‘significant numbers of Palestinians’ into the U.S.
Republican Lawmakers Demand Biden Administration Not Resettle Palestinians in the U.S.
Republican Representatives Tom Tiffany (R-WI) and Andy Ogles (R-TN) have taken a stand against the potential plans of the Biden administration to bring large numbers of Palestinians into the United States. In a letter addressed to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the lawmakers expressed their concerns and urged the administration to reconsider.
The letter was sent alongside the introduction of the Guaranteeing Aggressors Zero Admission (GAZA) Act, which aims to prevent supporters of the terrorist organization Hamas from entering the U.S. as refugees. Tiffany and Ogles emphasized the necessity of this act in light of the recent Hamas terror attacks against Israel, which resulted in the deaths of over 1,400 individuals, including innocent women and children.
While the Biden administration has not officially announced any plans to resettle Palestinians, Tiffany and Ogles pointed out the chaotic situation that unfolded during the Afghanistan withdrawal, where large numbers of Afghans entered the U.S. without thorough vetting. They expressed concerns about a similar scenario occurring with Palestinians and emphasized the need for proper vetting procedures.
The lawmakers made it clear that they do not want the Biden administration to use “categorical parole” to allow Palestinians into the U.S. during Israel’s conflict with Hamas. They called for more transparency and assurance that the administration is not considering a legally questionable approach that could potentially endanger American communities.
In a separate development, a Daily Wire investigation revealed that a former spokeswoman for the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), Nejwa Ali, was hired by the U.S. immigration enforcement agency to determine who can enter the country as an immigrant or asylum seeker. Ali’s pro-Hamas social media posts raised concerns about the objectivity of her decision-making process.
Representative Ogles expressed his disbelief on social media, highlighting the potential danger of placing individuals with pro-terrorist sentiments in charge of America’s asylum claims.

They stressed that the US government should prioritize the needs of its own citizens, particularly given the ongoing challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

They called for a comprehensive assessment of the potential societal and cultural impacts before proceeding with any such resettlement program.
