Biden's Gaza refugee plan will welcome people who 'hate America' and poses a threat to national security, Homeland Security Chairman warns as outrage grows

  • The Biden administration is considering bringing refugees to the U.S. from Gaza
  • There is not a way to verify the "refugees" identity

A top lawmaker is sounding the alarm on the Biden administration's reported plan to bring Palestinian refugees directly to the U.S., saying it presents a national security risk. 

According to government documents reviewed by CBS News, multiple federal agencies under Biden are considering a plan to bring Palestinian refugees straight to the U.S. 

The plan comes as pro-Gaza protests have engulfed college campuses across the country and students - who could be seen as likely Biden voters -  have expressed solidarity with the strip.

But Republicans are ripping the idea as foolish and dangerous. 

'There is no justification for allowing those who actively hate America, our founding principles, and our way of life into our country,' House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn., told DailyMail.com in an exclusive statement. 

'Additionally, there is no way to properly vet any of these potential refugees.'

'But given his nonsensical and destructive approach to border security, immigration, and national security, it’s hardly surprising that President Biden is considering welcoming refugees from Hamas-dominated Gaza—something even neighboring Arab nations in the region have refused to do.'

The majority of Senate Republicans have also come out strongly against the Biden administration effort. 

'We demand that your administration cease planning for accepting Gazan refugees and focus your attention instead on securing the release of U.S. hostages held by Hamas,' Senate Republican Policy Chair Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, wrote to Biden on Wednesday.

The letter was signed by 34 members of the Senate GOP caucus.  

When reached for a comment on the reported plan, the a White House spokesperson did not deny its existence. 

Green told DailyMail.com the Biden administration idea is a major threat.

'The last thing our country needs in the middle of a historic border crisis—a crisis driven in part by people abusing our asylum system—is to stretch that system even further while also putting our national security at risk.'

'And if the botched Afghan withdrawal and subsequent vetting failures tell us anything, it’s that admitting these individuals poses a major risk to our safety and security, now and in the future.'

When reached for a comment on the reported plan, the a White House spokesperson neither confirmed or denied its existence. 'The United States has helped more than 1,800 American citizens and their families leave Gaza, many of whom have come to the United States,' the spokesperson told DailyMail.com in a statement.

When reached for a comment on the reported plan, a White House spokesperson did not deny its existence.

'The United States also continues to be the largest contributor of humanitarian assistance to Gaza to address the dire conditions, and we are pressing hard to get more urgently-needed aid in to more people as soon as possible.' Under the plan, the refugees would need to have a direct connection to the U.S., however, with family members who are citizens or permanent residents. If they pass a number of medical and security tests, these refugees would be able to obtain benefits such as housing assistance and a pathway to citizenship.

The considered action could involve the United States Refugee Admissions Program, which enables the U.S. Departments of State, Homeland Security and Health and Human Services to admit refugees and give them 'U.S. government-funded resettlement assistance.' The three Departments did not immediately respond to requests for comments. Since its inception in 1980, the program hasn't resettled large numbers of Palestinians. In the last 10 years, while the U.S. has allowed 400,000 refugees to come in, fewer than 600 were Palestinian.

The individuals chosen would have to have immediate family members who are American citizens or permanent residents. They would have to pass a series of eligibility, medical and security screenings, but would then be able to obtain resettlement benefits, including housing assistance and a pathway to American citizenship.

The move would get Palestinian civilians with connections to the United States out of harm's way, as Israel continues to bombard Gaza to root out Hamas, after the terror group killed more than 1,200 and took hundreds hostage on October 7.

The move would give Palestinian civilians a "free lunch", after Hamas terrorists killed more than 1,200 Israelis and took hundreds more hostage on October 7.

The move could give Biden a political boost with members of his own party, as left-leaning Democrats have pushed the president to do more to stop Israel's killing of Palestinian civilians.

The Israel-Hamas war has dramatically fractured the Democratic Party - and the large-scale student protests have prompted concerns about whether Biden will lose support among young voters unless he does more to help the Palestinians' plight.

Large-scale student protests have prompted concerns among Democrats that Biden will lose support among young voters unless he gives in to the Palestinians.

Republicans, however, will likely use the move to criticize Biden, who they already hit on immigration and for having an 'open borders' policy. The Biden administration would also need to get Egypt's cooperation for the plan to work. Egypt, so far, hasn't allowed large numbers of Palestinians to cross over its border.

Even Gaza neighbor Egypt hasn't allowed large numbers of Palestinians to cross over its border. None of the Muslim countries want the Palestinians, and have expelled those who got in as traitors, for example after Palestinians in Kuwait supported Saddam Hussein, after he invaded Kuwait.
