(JNS) “Squad” Democrats Rashida Tlaib and Cori Bush have voted against a House of Representatives to prevent Hamas members and terrorists who participated in the October 7 atrocities from entering the US.

The US House of Representatives voted 422-2 on Wednesday to deny entry into the United States to non-US citizen members of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad who attacked Israel on October 7.

Rep. Tom McClintock introduced the “No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act,” which drew dissenting votes from Rashida Tlaib  and Cori Bush, two left-wing members of the so-called “squad”. 

“Any alien who carried out, participated in, planned, financed, afforded material support to or otherwise facilitated any of the attacks against Israel initiated by Hamas beginning on Oct. 7, 2023, is inadmissible,” the bill reads.
