Republicans have a racist new idea amid the war on Gaza.

    Maybe just the ones who may be members of Hamas?

    But yeah sure let’s codify the Muslim Ban into law (where I see this ending up).

      Well, hamas is recognised as a terrorist organisation, the US is already probably arresting or deporting known members.

        That’s what I thought, but I wasn’t sure if the policy was as explicit as something like “expel them all”. Maybe it is though.

          I’m guessing it’s the same policy as with any other terror group. Prosecute them, jail them if guilty*

            It’s cute how it actually tries to let them spy on adjacent countries, up to 100mi past the border (or, most of the habitable part of Canada).

              As if they weren’t already spying on every nation they feel like it by simply outsourcing that to google

          FTA:

          The Safeguarding Americans From Extremism Act would require the Department of Homeland Security to refrain from issuing visas or granting refugee, asylum, or temporary protected status to anyone holding a passport issued by the Palestinian Authority. It would also revoke visas and refugee or asylum status for anyone who was granted it on or after October 1.

        “Are you now or have you ever been in a terrorist organization”

        They’d never think to lie right? Like, that’d be illegal something terrorists are very concerned about, and yet for some reason that question is on immigration, security clearance and gun sale background checks.

        I’m quite sure there’s a heightened background investigation for immigrants, but I like to make fun of the existence of that question.
