Tlaib to Hamas: Come on In, Guy

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet 

 

This is the easiest vote ever to grace the House floor in recent memory: should we bar Hamas terrorists from entering the United States?  More specifically, any Hamas terrorist who was involved in executing the heinous October 7 attacks against Israel last year. This was an easy layup for lawmakers, with Congress and the country being as intensely partisan as ever. It virtually got unanimous support, and the fact that it didn’t makes this vote even more disturbing. Two lawmakers voted against the legislation: Reps. Cori Bush (D-MO) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MN). I know, shocking, but also not really (via Fox News): 

"Squad" Democrats Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo. and  Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. were the only two representatives who voted against a bill barring Hamas terrorists from entering the United States.

The bill, HR 6679, which was also called the "No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act," expanded a U.S. ban on Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) officers to include all PLO members. 

The bill, which was introduced by Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Penn., also barred Hamas members and other participants in the Oct. 7 attack from the U.S. Read more and see X here.
