The subject of immigration to the U.S. from Gaza is definitely in the air in Washington DC today.
Briefly, the Biden administration is talking up the idea of bringing in more Gazans to the U.S., and that requires they first exit Gaza via the border crossing at Rafah. However, that genius plan is being blocked by the refusal of Egypt to allow some of those Gazans onto the Egyptian side of their common border.
By a fortunate coincidence, the current issue of State Magazine has an informative article about the State personnel who are standing by to process those Gazans who are lucky enough to be allowed into Egypt.
Read it here: Road to Rafah.
This quote stands out:
“In some cases, departing citizens and LPRs [Lawful Permanant Residents] saw their hopes extinguished when they received somber news that a family member would not be allowed into Egypt.”
Would it be entirely crazy to explore why Egypt won't allow some Gazans into their territory before we get serious about moving them over here to ours?
And on a side note, why do we have so many Lawful Permanant Residents who do not permanently reside in the USA? You might think that would be a requirement.
