    Egypt has had a front row seat and their hand bitten in the past. I'm surprised Israel thought there was a good chance Egypt would have accepted them in the first place.

    It's not going to pass anytime soon since the House is shutdown for the moment with no end in sight.

    lol no. It has more to do with a dozen or so agreements with Israel. And keep in mind, some 600 Americans were in the Gaza Strip ranging from overseas students to volunteers of NGOs to visiting family. And they are not jihadists are they?

    And here we go. Get off the cross, Steve. You do this all the time.

    What "democrats"? Who are you referring to?

    It is too damn early to make any decision one way or another. I will say you are consistent, as you've NEVER argued to let anyone into this country. So I don't see what discussion is there to be had other than another rah-rah rally for your ego.

    No reason to be upset just because I pointed out that you post from nonsense sources while complaining about other people's sources. The OP posted "facts" too. That didn't stop you from whining about which website published the facts.

    Let's cut to the chase. You seem to not believe democrats never said they don't want Palestinian refugees which doesn't square with their global citizen/open borders stance. Do you get it now?

    Steve, what you refuse to see is that once again, the Repubs are playing to their base to line their election coffers and distract from their inability at governing.

    What I’m seeing from you is disbelief that the people who cry out for open borders and global citizenship while importing millions of refugees are actually wanting to take in Palestinian refugees. Meanwhile, all you’re doing is playing games.

    Do you believe it when dems said they wanted Palestinian refugees coming here? I mean, they literally fight like hell for others to come here. These are the people you support, do you want Palestinian refugees or not Mr Open Birders?

    Let's be realistic: No one wants to take in Palestinians. They are a pariah to their own people. They shouldn't feel bad though, the Islamic communities don't seem to like any other faction other than their own.

    Perhaps a solution that doesn't turn Palestinians into refugees would be best

    Anyone from anywhere can just walk into America across Biden's open border. What a joke this is.

    Curbing the flow of potentially dangerous immigrants is exactly how they should be governing.

    Biden controls immigration... not Republicans. And he's letting in everyone... from everywhere.

    How absolutely and moronically retarded do you have to be to allow people that hate you to come into your country and be amongst you?

    We truly have absolute morons as our leaders

    Discrimination toward Muslim is a very real thing from the conservative in America. Since 9/11 it became very much upfront in American politics.

    America welcome everyone.

    Having said that, I want my progressive friends to be careful what you wish for. Muslims , practicing Muslim or non-practicing Muslim don’t know how to separate “church and state”. Progressive wants to show “tolerance” to Muslims and incorporate them in American society. Well, I have news for you, Muslim wants to come to America but they don’t want to be “ melting pot” of American idealism. You don’t believe me, google up “Hamtramck, MI” . That’s just one town in America. Muslim elected official ban LBGT flag because it’s against their religion. Keep in mind LGBTQ community helped these Muslims to settle in MI.

    America already has problem with Christian right and their intolerance, last thing we need is Islamist join with them. My progressive friend , keep in mind Fundamental Muslim and Fundamental Christian right, all believe same social intolerance and they don’t sperate “ church and state”.

    Serious question: how can they introduce a bill without a speaker?

    That seems fairly contradictory. Why do you want to welcome someone that you acknowledge isn't going to assimilate? If you welcome someone who hates you, and will be your enemy if they ever get enough political power, why do you want to welcome them? I'm not understanding what kind of sense this makes as a policy.

    They can have it warming up in the bullpen and ready to go for when they do have a speaker.
