The Biden administration has already allowed millions of people to enter the U.S. illegally through their porous southern border, and it's anybody's guess how many bad actors might be among them.
Meanwhile, some lefties in Congress would like to bring many of the expected Gaza refugees to the United States:
Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) ~ Here we go ...
That idea isn't getting rave reviews, but we'll get to that in a minute:
Jon Levine (@LevineJonathan) ~ NEW from me: Rep. Jamaal Bowman tells me the United States should take in refugees from Gaza. The White House repeatedly refused answer whether they would be open to the idea.

If the Biden White House won't say they're not open to the idea, they're open to the idea.
One of the far lefties who would like to pull the fire alarm to open the door for Gaza refugees to come to the U.S. is Rep. Jamaal Bowman:
Experts predict a million refugees might flee the Gaza Strip amid the war between Israel and Hamas, and socialists and far-left lawmakers said America should welcome them.
“Fifty percent of the population in Gaza are children. The international community as well as the United States should be prepared to welcome refugees from Palestine while being very careful to vet and not allow members of Hamas,” said Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a New York member of the Socialist-Democratic “Squad” who remains under investigation for pulling a fire alarm in the House Cannon Office Building earlier this month.
Republicans are saying no way:
Jon Levine (@LevineJonathan) ~ Four Republican senators told me that accepting Palestinians from Gaza would be a nonstarter.
Short answer ...
Republican senators aren't the only ones who think it would be a nonstarter.

Doug Ross (@directorblue) ~ LOL! No way. Egypt or an Arab country can take the Nazis.
Well, truth is ... the other Arab countries in the region hate them with a passion ... because they know they're nothing but worthless troublemakers. Egypt has forcefully closed its border to them and told them to either stay home or go elsewhere.
Yo (@TheSpinDr7) ~ No. Gaza is surrounded by Muslim countries. No reason they can’t offer shelter.
Allan Davis (@SrgtPreston) ~ Arab countries won’t take them, but we should? NO!
Glimmer (@Glimmer2468 ) ~ No. Absolutely not. Progressives have done nothing but put our national security [i]last. No more.[/i]
Well, Biden did say that when he took office the days of "America First" policies was over.
Here's a better alternate idea:
Joe Bribin’ (@NorCalMatteo) ~ How about we send the Progressives to Gaza.
Yeah, that way they can look after each other!
Bingo!
