White House considers welcoming some Palestinians from war-torn Gaza as refugees

Just when we think things couldn't go any worse, any crazier, here comes more WTF news.

CBS announced late yesterday that:

While many Democrats would likely support the move, admitting Palestinians as refugees could spur even more political challenges for the Biden administration related to the Israel-Hamas war. The conflict has already exposed rifts within the Democratic Party, triggered massive protests on college campuses and divided communities across America.

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.

***SNIP***

In recent years, the Biden administration has dramatically increased refugee resettlement, which was slashed to record lows by former President Donald Trump. U.S. officials have set a goal of admitting up to 125,000 refugees in fiscal year 2024, which ends at the end of September.

It isn't bad enough with current conflicts in play in the USA. Let's toss in a few more controversial people to create even more dissension. I mean, why not? Obviously we don't have enough. I listened to some on the street interviews of people who are adamant that Biden is doing a great job and they will absolutely vote for him again. So short of the left not gaining the executive position, we are basically screwed with full on support of it by them.

Until people make a stand and get rid of the lameness, the weakness, the shills in politics, we all will continue to suffer the effects of the degradation of our society. See Ireland, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Italy....Most all of the Western civilizations.

The problems are the same in every single country. Lack of integration in existing society, lack of housing, lack of jobs, lack of resources, etc.

This creates hostilities on all sides and brings neglect and lack of quality of life on all sides as well. When will it end? As I won't likely be around in 20 or more years, I would love to be able to see into the future about 50 years or so and see how the world has transitioned from the mega migrations of what's currently happening.

Morons. They'll turn America into a Middle Eastern sh!thole.
They are already trying to turn it into a S.American sh!thole.
It's a two pronged attack.

Yay, self imposed open air prison coming to the US.

If inflation keeps up the least of the concerns will be 125k refugees... I make 50-70$/hr and typically pull 6-7k a month in...and even I am feeling the burn. This will eventually be the straw that breaks the camels back. People don't revolt until they are very uncomfortable and starving and being homeless with a family is pretty damn uncomfortable.

Lol.


You have no idea who's pulling your strings.


Then rage against the clear blue sky for all it's worth.

You'll never figure it out.

a reply to: StoutBroux

It's funny how clown world just keeps on manifesting in the land of the free and the home of the brave.


I wonder who's in charge?

Huh.

Send billions to Israel to fight Hamas and then invite Hamas here ... Yeah, that's our government 😑

There's a reason senior citizens are the largest growing homeless demographic. Vote for Biden, put someone's grandma on the streets!

a reply to: StoutBroux

Just copy and rework my response on this.

Election in Novermber?

It's how he can support Israel and look Pro-Muslim inclusion simultaneously. Tight rope of sensitivities the dope walks.

I guess as long as they look at certain things before bringing over the refugees. With a polygraph.

Have you ever voted for Hamas?
Does anyone in your family belong to Hamas?
Do you consider them "freedom fighters?"
Have you ever referred to The USA as Great Satan?

We have enough "educated" kids that think that already, and they were largely born here.

But I'm sure the 5% of Gaza left after those questions would be upstanding American citizens. There is a good reason why Egypt, their muslim siblings across the Sinai, won't even take refugees. And the most fortified borders are the walls around Gaza.

I've read level-headed dystopic accounts from several online acquaintances in EU countries.

When they let in the Syrian refugees it didn't work out as planned. Instead of being grateful to their hosts, many were demanding and carried a chip on their shoulder. They didnt really contribute and were prone to unemployment and dole bilking. Often wanting their new society to be exactly like their previous.

"Does not acclimate well" is the overall criticism.

If i was an asylum officer I really wouldn't want to let in a person claiming asylum from Israel as their oppressor. That's like a Canadian coming to the USA to claim asylum from Trudeau's policies... sort of.



That will essentially be the criticism if we let in every Tome, Rashid, and Haruld that says Israel is oppressing them.

What would the West Bank Asylum claim be? "They forcibly moved me and revoked my work permit on October 11th!" The Gaza claim? "We voted for a terrorist Iran proxy that led us to destruction, and it's Israel's fault!"

There's always hope. A final straw. Something. A change in the tide would be nice. It seems the last 15 years or so have been different than the 'normal' #show, at least from what I've noticed more. I keep waiting to see if we've hit rock bottom.

In my limited experience, it seems like we have or at least should have had a change in the tide by now, which I have posted my thoughts on this before on ATS. Somehow, the well is deeper and darker than I could ever imagine. I would simply like an ease up on the crazy. The pendulum should be swinging the other direction.

We have a lot of distractions going on today so people aren't even noticing the elephant in the room: the food supply.

Bird flu hit the poultry industry, while prolonged drought has hit farming and ranching along with H5N1 and guv. regulations that follow the global warming Greenie path, limiting the ability for any of these industries to function.
Over 200 food processing plants have been destryoed in the past few years.
Covid showed us how fragile our supply chain is, and adding in new EV regulations makes it even more so.
Extreme weather across the globe has destroyed the ability to grow this years crop in any meaningful numbers.

Inflation has already made a healthy diet unobtainable for millions. If you don't eat healthy you don't stay healthy and open Pandora's Box for some nasty life-ending viruses.

The global food supply should be the number one issue being adressed, yet countries are tying the hands of farmers through regulations that make it nearly impossible for them to function. All I can do is shake my head in sorrow that reporting on the issue and world-wide farmer protests seldom gets even ten-seconds of coverage.

Exactly...when inflation meets food shortage you have a pretty bad issue. Now toss in unsustainable rent/mortgage prices...hefty gas prices too and you will find that eventually the population can't take it anymore. I think its being done on purpose and I believe the goal is a revolt in the US. Its the only way to really topple a world giant economy and power house. China is seemingly being setup to be the new standard and I think its because they have mastered controlling the population to a degree the power hungry elites have dreamed of for probably centuries.

All these other things like taking what amounts to a drop in the bucket worth of refugees are just more dibide and conquer distractions. The more they can get us to fight amongst ourselves the more degradation of the US they can get away with.

a reply to: StoutBroux

Have the Afghan refugees been returned yet? Only one set at a time.

Anyone who supported the destruction of Gaza has no place to complain when a Palestinian ends up moving into your neighborhood.

How hard is it to understand that when you support the displacement of people you automatically have no say when they end up in your community?

Please stop supporting policies and politicians that lower our quality of life. Both Republicans and Democrats do this.

White House considers welcoming some Palestinians from war-torn Gaza as refugees

Jordan and Egypt refuse to take them.
They build giant walls to keep them in Gaza.
The MORONS in DC need to pay attention to those facts.
Get a clue .. take a hint .. the people of Gaza can't be trusted.

If this continues, the USA will end up sending missiles, bombs and fighter planes to reinforce Gaza and planeloads of humanitarian aid by air to Tel Aviv.

If the USA does not finance and stops supporting the ethnic cleansing committed by the Israeli occupation state in Palestine, they would not have to finance the aid of the Palestinians.

Biden said a long time ago that Israel is the USA's best investment. Do all American taxpayers think the same?

Some Americans are happy to pay for someone else's "party" and on top of that foot the bill for what they destroy and consume at their "parties." I suppose that the majority of taxpayers prefer to pay for their own parties and fix or resolve the problems in their home before those of others.

The one you can't trust is the one who sends bombs to one side to kill the other and at the same time sends help for the consequences of the bombs.

More than 70,000 Palestinians already live in Egypt and more than 2 million in Jordan. As usual you lie.

What these countries do not want is a refugee crisis and to finish paying the bill for the expulsion of the Palestinians who remain in their land.
