“Just weeks ago, an ISIS terrorist – who this administration failed to properly vet and welcomed into our country with open arms – was caught planning an Election Day attack."
Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Congressman Brian Babin (TX-36) led 11 of his House Republican colleagues on a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas condemning his recent announcement that Lebanese nationals currently in the U.S. will be eligible for "Temporary Protected Status" and work authorization permits due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
“While Israel is suffering weekly rocket bombardments from terrorists in Lebanon, the Biden-Harris administration has not only foolishly decided to hamstring our ability to deport Lebanese aliens, including those here illegally, but also offer them immigration benefits and work authorization,” said Babin.
“Just weeks ago, an ISIS terrorist – who this administration failed to properly vet and welcomed into our country with open arms – was caught planning an Election Day attack.
"This White House and its Department of Homeland Security has a deeply troubling track record of allowing terrorists into our nation, and new designations like this only make it more difficult to remove bad actors.”
