(Gateway Pundit) Democratic leaders Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), and Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) are reportedly circulating a draft letter pressing the Biden regime to open the floodgates for Palestinian nationals to seek refuge in the United States.
The draft letter, obtained by Daily Caller’s Chief National Correspondent, Henry Rodgers, explicitly calls on the administration to “designate the Palestinian territories for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and/or authorize Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) for Palestinians present in the United States.”
TPS and DED are programs that offer temporary legal status to nationals from designated countries experiencing armed conflict, natural disasters, or other extraordinary conditions that prevent safe return. TPS provides work authorization and protection from deportation to people inside/arriving in the US, while the DED merely protects them from deportation. The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security designates eligible countries for TPS, while the President grants DED.
The draft letter read:
In response, Representative Mary Miller has voiced strong opposition, stating on social media, “Joe Biden & Congressional Democrats are working on a secret plan to fly hundreds of thousands of Palestinian nationals into the US. NO! The House must block ANY attempt to bring unvetted foreign nationals from regions with high terrorism risks into the US. PUT AMERICA FIRST!”
