Earlier this week, it was revealed that the White House is considering using the United States Refugee Admissions Program to hand Palestinians permanent residency and "resettlement benefits like housing assistance and a path to American citizenship."

Although CBS News reported that the "eligible population is expected to be relatively small," European natives were given similar assurances before the 2015 refugee crisis that ended up with millions of migrants flooding the continent.

In a letter to House Appropriators, Reps. Andy Ogles (R-TN), Tom Tiffany (R-WI), and Scott Perry (R-PA) have asked that a provision be included in the Fiscal Year 2025 spending bill that prevents expenditures "of any funds to issue a visa or grant parole to any alien holding a passport issued by the Palestinian Authority."

"Whatever fanciful leftist notion to the contrary, the United States of America cannot be expected to absorb the rest of the world's problems. It would make much more sense for states in the region to take in those in need. If the administration is indeed working in concert with our allies in the region to pave the way for peace, that should come with the expectation that those allies are working in good faith to "do their part," states the letter.

35 Senate Republicans are also demanding more specifics on the resettlement program, asserting that it represents "a national security risk to the United States."

"With more than a third of Gazans supporting the Hamas militants, we are not confident that your administration can adequately vet this high-risk population for terrorist ties and sympathies before admitting them into the United States," said the Senators.
