Biden Wants Hamas ‘Refugees’

The Congress should do no further business until Biden's plan to import Gaza refugees is dead.

A Wednesday CBS News report informed us that President Biden and his crew were considering flying an unknown number of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to the U.S. to be resettled here as refugees. Former president Trump called for barring Gaza refugees from the United States. He is as right as Biden is wrong. Such an astoundingly bad idea could only come from Old Joe’s kakistocracy.

(About 130 hostages are still held by Hamas along with bodies of those hostages killed since October 7.) The poll also found that 90 percent of Gazans believe that Hamas committed no war crimes in that attack but that Israel has committed them in its response to the October 7th attack. It’s no wonder that no Arab countries — not even Jordan whose population is about half “Palestinian” — will take a single Gaza refugee. Look around at the Arab countries and you can see why. Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia all fear what Biden should but isn’t sentient enough to understand. They all fear that with the Gaza refugees will come Hamas terrorism and instability that could overthrow their own governments. Egypt, with a population of about 105 million, already has about nine million refugees...
