Letter to the editor: Democrats push to take in a million Palestinian refugees 

Posted

Recently, there’s been talk of progressive Democrats pushing for the United States to accept a million Palestinian refugees. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol just released the number of migrant encounters for September 2023 — 269,735 people crossed into the USA. 

Fiscal year-to-date total is 2,475,669 illegal migrants who have come into our country.

With the huge influx of unvetted illegal migrants coming into our country, we cannot afford to bring in another million Palestinian refugees. Our health care system, our schools and the housing crisis are being crushed because of this influx.

I go to “X,” formerly known as Twitter, to get news and updates on what’s going on in our state and around the country. I follow Congresswoman Marie Gluesenkamp Perez.

She has been silent on the influx of illegal migrants coming into our country, and she has been silent on calling out her fellow Democrats for supporting the U.S. taking in refugees from Gaza while our Southern border is being overrun. The most frightening aspect is that we have no idea who is crossing our Southern border as most of these illegal migrants have not been vetted whatsoever.



A majority of the Palestinians from Gaza not only hate the Jewish people, but they also hate Americans. Why would we even consider bringing in a group of people who hate us? Meanwhile, Congresswoman Gluesenkamp Perez remains silent on both issues — the Southern border crisis and the Palestinian refugee debate.

As we have multiple wars raging in Ukraine and in Israel, with the Chinese deploying six naval ships to the Middle East, the temperature is rising and conditions are prime for the beginning of World War III. Gluesenkamp Perez doesn’t seem to have a care in the world while she posts a selfie of her and her husband on X attending a movie at the Camas theater on Sunday afternoon.
