Let's be honest - CBS News didn't just magically happen to receive internal memos. Someone in the Biden administration leaked them. The administration wanted the idea to be floated to get the reaction of the public when the idea was reported. The anti-Israel minions in the administration want to see how much support the idea has before it makes any announcements. Floating this idea probably means Biden has already decided to do it and is giving Americans a heads-up.

The administration may decide to use the United States Refugee Admissions Program. Palestinians with American ties who fled Gaza and went to Egypt would be eligible. 

There are also discussions about the administration getting Palestinians out of Gaza and processing them as refugees if they have American relatives. This would require coordination with Egypt. Egypt has refused to take in large numbers of Gazans. 

If Gazans have not fled, how can they be considered refugees while they are still in Gaza? Would Egypt be expected to evacuate the Gazans and deliver them to American officials? Egypt is not particularly friendly to Gazans. There isn't any indication that Egypt would be receptive to this move.

There is a series of screenings that Palestinians would have to pass in order to be allowed to fly to the United States as refugees. These screenings include medical and security screenings. 

Refugee status would qualify them for permanent residency. Other benefits include housing assistance and a pathway to American citizenship. The Biden administration said the number of those who would be eligible would be small. The scheme is being described as a lifeline for Palestinians. That description is to tug at heartstrings and influence public opinion. The numbers of those who have died since the Israel-Hamas war began and who have been displaced are coming out of Gaza. The likelihood of propaganda is strong.

Again, let's be honest. This is a huge pander from Team Biden to appease Muslim Arab American voters. It seems that Joe Biden is willing to do anything to win re-election in November. The United States does not have a history of using the refugee program to resettle large numbers of Palestinians. This would be a shift in U.S. policy that has been in place since 1980. 

Over the past decade, the U.S. has resettled more than 400,000 refugees fleeing violence and war across the globe. Fewer than 600 were Palestinian. In fiscal year 2023, the U.S. welcomed 56 Palestinian refugees, or 0.09% of the more than 60,000 refugees resettled during those 12 months, State Department statistics show.

President Biden makes decisions based on politics, not necessarily what is in the best interests of the United States. He is a career politician and everything is seen through a political lens. The White House knows that Democrats would go along with this refugee scheme in an election year to appease the pro-Hamas wing of the party. 

In a statement provided to CBS News late Tuesday night, a White House spokesperson said that the U.S. "has helped more than 1,800 American citizens and their families leave Gaza, many of whom have come to the United States. At President Biden's direction, we have also helped, and will continue to help, some particularly vulnerable individuals, such as children with serious health problems and children who were receiving treatment for cancer, get out of harm's way and receive care at nearby hospitals in the region."

The statement went on to say that the U.S. "categorically rejects any actions leading to the forced relocation of Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank or the redrawing of the borders of Gaza. The best path forward is to achieve a sustainable cease-fire through a hostage deal that will stabilize the situation and pave the way to a two-state solution."  

Sick children? Really? Helping sick children does not have to involve the refugee program. The White House spokesperson is comparing apples and oranges. 

There is no possibility of a two-state solution as long as Hamas exists. This administration continues to push that pie-in-the-sky idea though there is no workable solution on the table, certainly not as far as Israel is concerned. 

Potential Palestinian refugees could use Israel as the reason for a need for refugee status. This plays into the false narrative that Israel is the aggressor in the Israel-Hamas war, not Hamas, the terrorists who massacred Jews in Israel during a ceasefire on October 7, 2023. 

To qualify to enter the U.S. as a refugee, applicants have to prove they are fleeing persecution based on certain factors, such as their nationality, religion, or political views. While some Palestinians could say they are fleeing repression by Hamas, others could identify the military and government of Israel, a top U.S. ally and recipient of American aid, as a persecutor. 

Israel did not start the war but it must finish it. Joe Biden seems ok with Israel losing the war and that is unacceptable. Biden is historically wrong on foreign policy decisions, look no further than the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan to see he is dangerously inept as commander-in-chief. 

Former President Trump decreased refugee resettlement while Biden has dramatically increased it. The Biden administration has set a goal of admitting 125,000 refugees in FY 2024, which ends at the end of September.

Something that isn't getting a lot of coverage is what is being called a slush fund that is in the $95B aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. It includes $3.5B to open new processing centers for Muslim migrants. Senator Eric Schmitt calls it a bid to "supercharge mass migration from the Middle East."  

The $3.5 billion was granted to the Department of State, which works with many international groups that feed and transport migrants on their way to the United States.

Biden’s deputies are now using the refugee programs as an adjunct to their diversity-expanding “equity” migration policy. For example, Biden’s deputies used the program in March to import 3,009 migrants from the safe and democratic countries of El Salvador and Guatemala.

They are also using the refugee funds to expand migration routes from many African and Muslim countries. In March, they pulled in 12,018 people from the Congo, plus 16,732 migrants from the Muslim countries of Afghanistan, Syria, Pakistan, Iraq, and Eritrea, according to a report by Stacker.com. -Breitbart

Oh. 

Not only did the “Foreign Aid” package do nothing to secure our own border it included $3.5 Billion to supercharge mass migration from the Middle East. https://t.co/bsbYapsaE2

Palestinians are not welcome in most of the countries in their region of the world. Neighboring Jordan will not allow them to resettle because of past history. The same is true of other countries. It is a bad idea for Biden to use the Israel-Hamas war to bring them to America. Let them remain in places in which they have commonalities. They do not assimilate well.

Biden wants to fundamentally transform America. He threw open the southern border to prove that. He is willing to sacrifice national security to appease the far-left wing of the Democrat Party. This refugee program scheme is another move to do that. Biden will sacrifice our American way of life to win re-election in November.
