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.
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.
