WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) introduced the No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act to prevent any migrant tied to Hamas from entering the country. This follows Hamas’ savage murder and release of four innocent hostages, including a young mother, her two toddlers, and a journalist, last week. 

“The Biden-Harris administration released nearly 100 individuals on the terrorist watchlist into our country over the last four years, and we need to make certain anyone tied to Hamas is not allowed to enter or remain in the U.S.,” said Senator Blackburn. “This common-sense, bipartisan bill would ensure that no migrant tied to Hamas and its savage terrorist attack on October 7 can enter our nation or receive immigration benefits on the taxpayer dime.”

“No one who participated in Hamas’s brutal October 7 terrorist attack should be allowed to enter the United States,” said Senator Rosen. “That’s why I’m helping introduce bipartisan legislation to prohibit Hamas terrorists from being eligible to receive immigration benefits. I’ll always work across the aisle to keep our nation safe.”

NO IMMIGRATION BENEFITS FOR HAMAS TERRORISTS ACT

• The No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act would:

• Prohibit any migrant who carried out, participated in, planned, financed, afforded material support to, or otherwise facilitated in any way the attacks perpetrated by Hamas against Israel on October 7, 2023, from being admitted to the United States; and

• Prohibit any such individual from being eligible for any immigration benefits.
