President Joe Biden is under fire from Republicans responding to his decision to defer deportation for most Palestinians living illegally in the United States.
The president issued an order Wednesday to pause the deportation of most Palestinians found living illegally in the United States, asking the Department of Homeland Security to ‘authorize employment for noncitizens.’
Biden’s action directly opposed legislation introduce by Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) and ten co-sponsors that proposed banning or revoking visas, refugee status and asylum for Palestinian Authority passport holders dating back to Oct 1.
‘There is a long and bloody record of radical Islamic terrorists using regional conflicts to infiltrate refugee populations to later conduct terrorist attacks,’ Zinke told the Daily Mail in response to Biden’s executive decision.
Zinke pointed to reports of Hamas putting in fighters among departing Palestinian civilians the war-torn area since the war started.
‘Biden’s order to allow Palestinian visa overstays is a huge security vulnerability that creates an incentive for Hamas terrorists to keep doing it,’ he concluded.

RELATED: Biden protects Palestinian immigrants in the U.S. from deportation, citing Israel-Hamas war
Published February 14, 2024
President Biden on Wednesday issued an executive order instructing federal immigration officials to refrain from deporting most Palestinian immigrants in the U.S., saying the months-long war in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Hamas has made it too dangerous to send deportees there.
The move, which Democratic lawmakers in Congress had demanded last year, is expected to shield several thousand Palestinians living in the U.S. from deportation, an administration official told CBS News.
In his order, Mr. Biden said the “humanitarian conditions in the Palestinian territories, and primarily Gaza, have significantly deteriorated” since the terrorist attacks by Hamas militants on Oct. 7, and Israel’s military response, which has claimed the lives of thousands of Palestinians.
