Squad members Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) were the only two Congressmen to vote against a bill that bars Hamas and other terrorists who took part in the October 7 jihadist terror attack on Israel from entry into the United States. The bill passed 422 to 2 with one Democrat voting present: Rep. Delia Ramirez (IL). Other Squad members voted for the bill which was introduced by Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA).
In a statement, Tlaib, the only Palestinian-American in Congress, said, she voted against the bill because it is “redundant” and that it was a “GOP messaging bill being used to incite anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian, and anti-Muslim hatred that makes communities like ours unsafe.”

Excerpt from the bill, H.R. 6679, the No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act:
…(A) by inserting “Palestinian Islamic Jihad, or Hamas” after “Palestine Liberation Organization”;
…(H) PARTICIPANTS IN HAMAS TERRORISM AGAINST ISRAEL.—Any alien who carried out, participated in, planned, financed, afforded material support to, or otherwise facilitated any of the attacks against Israel initiated by Hamas beginning on October 7, 2023, is inadmissible.”
“(D) INELIGIBILITY FOR RELIEF.—Any alien who carried out, participated in, planned, financed, afforded material support to, or otherwise facilitated any of the attacks against Israel initiated by Hamas beginning on October 7, 2023, shall be ineligible for any relief under the immigration laws, including under this section, section 208, and section 2242 of the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act, 1999 (and any regulations issued pursuant to such section).”.
The bill now goes to the Senate.

Bush posted a statement about her vote on X Twitter, “I opposed H.R. 6679 because it is a redundant, empty messaging bill Republicans are using to target immigrants and incite anti-Palestinian hate. Republicans have ZERO credibility on these issues.”

“Squad” Democrats Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo. and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. were the only two representatives who voted against a bill barring Hamas terrorists from entering the United States.
The bill, HR 6679, which was also called the “No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act,” expanded a U.S. ban on Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) officers to include all PLO members.
The bill, which was introduced by Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Penn., also barred Hamas members and other participants in the Oct. 7 attack from the U.S.
The legislation states that any person who “participated in, planned, financed, afforded material support to, or otherwise facilitated” the October 7 attack on Israel or attacks after that, “shall be ineligible for any relief under the immigration laws.”

“Any alien who carried out, participated in, planned, financed, afforded material support to, or otherwise facilitated any of the attacks against Israel initiated by Hamas beginning on October 7, 2023, is inadmissible,” the bill states.
While 422 members of the House voted to pass the bill, three far-left members voted either against the bill or voted present.
Bush and Tlaib voted against the bill while Rep. Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., voted present.
In a press release, Tlaib said that the bill was “just another” Republican bill used to “incite” hatred.
“H.R. 6679 is unnecessary because it is redundant with already existing federal law,” Tlaib said.
“It’s just another GOP messaging bill being used to incite anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian, and anti-Muslim hatred that makes communities like ours unsafe,” the Democrat representative said.

Nearly everyone in the House voted for a bill to bar from the U.S. all Hamas members and anyone involved with the Islamist terror group’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
But not Reps. Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib.
In a statement, Ms. Tlaib, Michigan Democrat, said the bill incited hatred against people like her.
She denounced the bill as “another GOP messaging bill being used to incite anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian, and anti-Muslim hatred that makes communities like ours unsafe.”
The two members of the far-left “Squad” were the only House members to vote against HR 6679, the “No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act,” which passed on a 422-2 vote. Rep. Delia Ramirez, Illinois Democrat, also voted “present.”
