Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., is calling for the shutdown of all Palestinian immigration into the U.S., in the wake of the the Hamas terror attacks on Israel.
Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., is pushing Congress to shut down all Palestinian immigration into the U.S. with legislation that he says is 'very hard and harsh' amid ongoing concerns about vetting migrants for potential ties to terrorism following Hamas' October attack against Israel. Zinke’s Safeguarding Americans from Extremism Act would target any foreign national with a Palestinian Authority passport or PA-granted travel document, making them inadmissible to the United States.

There has been renewed scrutiny of the potential connection between immigration and terrorism since Hamas’ attack on Israel. Republicans have noted increased encounters of people on the terror watch list at the southern border.
News reported this week that a 20-year-old Jordanian man in Texas, who is accused of training with weapons to commit an attack, traveled to the U.S. on a Palestinian passport at one point. DHS has stressed that it has 'multilayered border security efforts,' including screening and vetting, and has also said that encounters of known or suspected terrorists are uncommon.
say enough's enough,' he said. He stressed, however, that he doesn’t have anything against Palestinians, and that this is about the ability to vet people. 'I don't have any hard feelings towards the Palestinian people, but where we are is that this administration, given the population of what's occurred and the horrific acts that were done, we need to look at it as almost a pandemic and stop it from spreading.
