There's a news story on it:
...on January 27, President Obama signed Presidential Determination No. 2009-15, which allocates $20.3 million for Palestinian migration and refugee assistance. [here's the official link]
Today a memo sent by President Obama to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton seems to invite Hamas to “migrate” into the United States of America.
The presidential determination covers the “Unexpected Urgent Refugee and Migration Needs Related to Gaza.”
“By the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including section 2(c)(1) of the Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1962 (the “Act”), as amended (22 U.S.C. 2601), I hereby determine, pursuant to section 2 (c) (1) of the Act, that it is important to the national interest to furnish assistance under the Act in an amount not to exceed $20.3 million from the United States Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund for the purpose of meeting unexpected and urgent refugee and migration needs, including by contributions to international, governmental, and nongovernmental organizations and payment of administrative expenses of Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration of the Department of State, related to humanitarian needs of Palestinian refugees and conflict victims in Gaza...
...One week after his inauguration, President Obama designated $20.3 million to the Palestinians in Gaza.
What security measures are in place to keep Hamas terrorists from gaining free access into the U.S.?
“Is President Obama opening the floodgates and inviting Hamas to “migrate” to the U.S.A.?

By the way, you migrated from the USA to Palestine, so the other way round sounds only fair to me.
Maybe the Palestinians could start building settlements there and declare that God told them to do so.
Martijn (btw, are you male or female? Dutch, yes?) - have you trouble reading. Did I make a value judgment? Did I boo or clap hands?
True, you didn't make any value judgement. I just assumed that, based on earlier posts, you were not really in favor of 'opening the gates for Hamas terrorists to migrate to the USA'. Correct me if i'm wrong.
I'm Belgian, male. We met a few years ago when i interviewed you for my dissertation on Israeli settlements.
P.S. - I have a really hard time understanding if Martijn is for or against Obamoron's policy to let MORE Islamic Squatters into the US; so, if he is FOR it, the above comment stands. If he is AGAINST it, then I retract the waffles thingy.
But, I really do miss those nice, big, fluffy Belgian waffles in the morning... Too many carbs, however.
doctorbulldog, i think you have really have hard time. period. nobody cares for your racist opinion.
As for Obama help, this is nothing. US really needs to adabt equal standards when it comes to Palestine and Israel.
My past comes back to haunt me.
Anyway, I would think that more Pals. in the US would be an American issue but if so, to do it sort of underhanded would be perhaps indicative of the way Obama will run foreign policy issues - beyond the public eye and without debate.
