President Biden on Wednesday shielded thousands of Palestinians in the United States from deportation for the next 18 months, using an obscure immigration authority as he faces mounting criticism over U.S. support for Israel in the Gaza war.
About 6,000 Palestinians are eligible for the reprieve under a program called Deferred Enforced Departure, which allows immigrants whose homelands are in crisis to remain in the United States and work legally.
In a memo obtained by The New York Times, Mr. Biden said that “many civilians remain in danger” in Gaza after the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas.
“Therefore, I am directing the deferral of removal of certain Palestinians who are present in the United States,” he said.
Simplistic comment. Biden would drop them if he could, but it’s not a fucking dictatorship! Israeli supporters in government, on both sides of the isle, is very real and could easily roadblock any support for Ukraine. Do some math and stop acting like a child - and fuck you too. I hate having to play the grownup in these tiresome conversations.

Yes - thank you.
He’s going around Congress to deliver weapons. What are you basing the claim that he would drop them if he could? He can and he doesn’t.
Yeah, that’s right. He’s backing up the truck and dropping them off himself.
Please - everything in Washington is a negotiation. Unless you’re a dictator doing thing unilaterally, you have to go through groups of other politicians with their own constituents.
He’s doing what he can. Simplistic arguments are just a distraction. Learn about politics and then comment.
What are you basing this notion on that Biden wants to stop sending weapons to Israel?
Go go gadget … away. Blocked.
Lol so pure speculation. Got it.
