    That’s a very misleading headline.

    (The bill would) require the Department of Homeland Security to refrain from issuing visas or granting refugee, asylum, or temporary protected status to anyone holding a passport issued by the Palestinian Authority. It would also revoke visas and refugee or asylum status for anyone who was granted it on or after October 1.

    Proposing a bill that stops new and recent visas is vastly different from wholesale booting all Palestinians from the country like the headline implies.

    Still a shitheel move imo, but not mass ethnic “resettlement” the headline brings to mind.
