As an estimated one-million Gaza Strip residents plan to seek refuge, leftist lawmakers suggest the United States as their new home.
“Fifty percent of the population in Gaza are children,” Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman said.
Bowman was caught on video disgracefully and illegally pulling the fire alarm to delay a vote to keep the U.S. government open. (Trending: Popular Food Banned By Democrats)
I’ve been very clear: The U.S. should not be absorbing any Gaza refugees. Neighboring Arab nations should open their borders and absorb them.

“The international community as well as the United States should be prepared to welcome refugees from Palestine while being very careful to vet and not allow members of Hamas,” Bowman continued.
However, GOP lawmakers such as Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), Tom Cotton (R-AR), Marco Rubio (R-FL), and Rick Scott (R-FL) have made it clear they will oppose any Gaza residents coming to the States. (Trending: Unnerving Discovery In Joe Biden’s Email)
“The U.S. is the most generous nation in the world, but we are in no position to accept additional refugees, especially from a region with as high a risk of terrorism, given our nation’s inability to secure our own border or vet those who are already here,” Rubio said.

If you look at how they behave – Not all of them are Hamas – but they are all antisemitic." pic.twitter.com/AHRwVrmbZx

“The entire focus of the United States right now should be on rescuing American hostages, and making sure that Israel has every resource needed to defeat Iran backed-Hamas and defend its homeland,” said Scott.
“Iran should take responsibility for any Palestinian refugees caused by its proxy . . . war with Israel.”
“Iran is responsible for the death and destruction — it should be responsible for refugees as well,” added Cotton.
