Tlaib, Bush Vote Against Bill Banning Entry of Terror Group Members; Cite Redundancy, Anti-Immigrant Messaging
- Reps. Tlaib and Bush were the only two votes against a bill banning entry to the US by members of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, or October 7 attack participants
- Tlaib called the bill "redundant" since such entry is already prohibited
- Bush called it an "empty messaging bill to target immigrants and incite anti-Palestinian hate"
- Rep. Ramirez voted "present," calling the bill redundant and a "waste of resources and time"
- The bill was among several immigration measures Tlaib rejected as divisive and demonizing migrants
