Presidential Determination No. 2009-15 of January 27, 2009, one of Obama’s first edicts, calls for the resettlement of Palestinian refugees in the United States. Obama says that it is “important to the national interest to furnish assistance under the Act in an amount not to exceed $20.3 million.” Since when has transporting Palestinians to our country been part of the “national interest”? The Founders of the Republic would be truly ashamed of what we’ve become.

Immigration has long been the lifeblood of this country, but using tax money to transport people here has not. I do not pay taxes for this nonsense. Americans should stand up to the pervasive political double speak to which we are constantly subjected. “National interest” is not a blanket term you can throw onto every whim of every President. It has meaning. Our collective defense is a “national interest,” for example.

Ironically, opening the doors of immigration and citizenship to Palestinians may be counter to true national interests, at least to security interests. Note the picture associated with this article-Palestinians are burning an American flag. It is not a secret that there is widespread resentment in that culture, particularly within the refugee camps, towards America. It is even understandable why many would dislike us. We have long meddled in their affairs, funding Israel and providing them with state-of-the-art weapons.

Nonetheless, bringing large groups of Palestinians to the United States is absolutely NOT in our national interest. One poll claims that 55% of Palestinians support suicide bombings, and “have displayed their overwhelming support of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.”
