The U.S. House of Representatives held a vote on Wednesday for a bill meant to bar terrorists who participated in the October 7 attack against Israel from entering the U.S.
Two Democrats voted against the bill.
“It’s just another GOP messaging bill being used to incite anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian, and anti-Muslim hatred that makes communities like ours unsafe,” said Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan), who opposed the bill.
The Bill H.R. 6679 “No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act” seeks to bar any members of the terrorist groups Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad who in any way participated in the October 7 attack from entering the U.S.
H.R. 6679 was sponsored by Rep. Tom McClintock (R-California), who sponsored another immigration bill, to deport non-citizens who have committed Social Security fraud.
The bill also bars all members of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) from entering the U.S. and prevents any of the groups from seeking asylum, or any immigration related benefits.
The bill received almost unanimous support, but it was opposed by Rep. Tlaib and Rep. Cori Bush (D-Missouri), and received a “present” vote from Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Illinois).
Tlaib, who was praised by the left for being the first Palestinian woman elected to congress, was previously censured for her use of the pro-Hamas slogan “from the river to the sea” which calls for the destruction of Israel from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.
Tlaib explained her opposition by claiming that the bill is redundant, and that it was a GOP scheme to incite anti-Muslim and anti-Arab hate.
Rep. Bush has previously come under fire for her vocal opposition of Israel’s war against Hamas following the terror attack which claimed over 1,200 lives, and left many others hostages of Hamas.
Bush called for the U.S. to cease sending all military aid to Israel’s “apartheid state.”
Despite the opposition of Tlaib and Bush, the bill passed with 422 “yea” votes.

We need a bill for that? These people are disgraceful!
Next move by Mills: resettle as many “Palestinians” into the state as possible.
Of course they’d oppose it — then they would have to leave the country.
They not done destroying the US yet.
Ban jews from entering the US that are actually committing a genocide against the Palestinians and their elected representatives known as HAMAS.
Just an other reasion for Mr. not support the Democrates, But he does
Sorry it was addressed to Mr. King THE INDEPENDENT from Maine.
He could change>
HAMAS is not a terrorist group. They were duly elected by the people of Palestine in a free and fair election. America hates fair elections.
The jews are the terrorists. The jews have murdered almost 30,000 Palestinian women and children since October 2023 and have been declared criminals in the international court of justice which America doesn’t recognize because it is also guilty of ethnic cleansing.
Recap:
The jews are disgusting pigs. The Palestinians are hero’s. Stupid fat American’s living off of jew fiat currency support ethnic cleansing because they are weak and can’t survive without fast food and fb.
P.S
The Old Testament is a historical record of jewish ethnic cleansing. Fact.
