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.
6000 people won’t be sent back to a genocide and you try to play this off as negligible?
How self-indulgent and arrogant of you.
If it had only been 1 person, and that person was your mother, you would be celebrating.
Ah, yes, I forgot we’re supposed to thank you guys for every little crumb you toss off the table for us. Thank you, oh great liberal white man, for the benevolence you show us!
Words cannot describe how glad I am to not be someone like you.
