'Keep Our Nation Safe': Senators Vow to Ban Pro-Hamas Migrants from Entering US with Bipartisan Push

Two senators from both sides of the aisle are introducing legislation to explicitly ban any immigrants tied to Hamas or involved in the October 7 attack on Israel from entering the United States.  

Sens. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., and Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., are introducing the No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act, which aims to prevent any immigrant tied to Hamas from entering the U.S.  

While terrorist activities and ties are more broadly a bar to admissibility into the U.S. under U.S. immigration law, the bill would explicitly add a ban to representatives, officers, members or spokespersons of Palestinian Islamic Jihad or Hamas, and anyone involved in the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel. 

It would also add a clause stating that “any alien who carried out, participated in, planned, financed, afforded material support to, or otherwise facilitated any of the attacks against Israel initiated by Hamas beginning on October 7, 2023, is inadmissible.” It would also make them ineligible for any relief under immigration laws.   

It had previously been introduced in the House last year by Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., and had passed overwhelmingly in a 422-2 vote. It is likely to pass in the Senate, sending it to President Biden or President-elect Trump’s desk. (FN/VFI News)
