After watching the fiasco of the Afghan airlift, Republican lawmakers are demanding assurances that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas won’t attempt a repeat performance with Palestinians seeking to flee the new war between Israel and Hamas.

Mr. Mayorkas has used parole powers to create backdoor immigration routes for people from Venezuela and Cuba to Ukraine and Afghanistan.Mr. Tiffany, Wisconsin Republican, and Mr. Ogles, Tennessee Republican, say the worry is that the U.S. has proved not to be very good at vetting under President Biden.
Fox News reporter Griff Jenkins said on social media platform X on Monday that he had confirmed two Iranians encountered at the border earlier this month triggered warnings from the terrorist watchlist.
