Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett has expressed openness to Palestinians wanting to come to the United States and assimilate as Americans. This statement follows President Donald Trump's controversial suggestion that the US should 'take over' the Gaza Strip, a proposal that has sparked condemnation from world leaders and the United Nations citing violations of international law.
Rep. Burchett highlighted Tennessee's positive history with Palestinians and stated that he welcomes them to the country. He also mentioned the need for a 'litmus test' for individuals seeking entry into the US.
