“Should the United States bring people in from Gaza?” a reporter asked Bowman.
“We are a nation of immigrants, and we are a nation of asylum seekers. People fleeing persecution, oppression, and violence. America has always been an open home to them,” Bowman said. Ta.
That is, whether they are coming from Palestine, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Mexico; [or] Haitians, they are here to contribute to our economy, and 99.9 percent of them are doing so. We’ve always been a place that opens its doors to immigrants who come here. [I] I fully support it.
