MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — Amid the ongoing war between Hamas and Israel, Wisconsin congressman Glenn Grothman wants to prohibit Palestinians from entering the U.S.
“I think there are plenty of places in that part of the world that could take them before the U.S.” said Grothman. “Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, none of which want them, by the way, and we have to wonder why none of them want them. Or perhaps they can just go rebuild Gaza after Israel goes through the next couple of weeks, and clears out the more radical Hamas types.”
In an interview posted Monday to the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), Grothman said Palestinians have been raised to not like Jewish people.
The 6th District Republican said he may introduce a bill or amendment to prohibit all Palestinians from entering the U.S., not just members of Hamas.
The Islamic Society of Milwaukee condemned his statement.
