This is reasonable on the face of it, because there is no state of “Palestine,” and the “Palestinian” nationality is a propaganda fiction invented in the 1960s. However, the “Palestinians” are a distinct entity now for better or worse, and at this point it would be wise of border authorities to keep track of how many of them are streaming in during the present border free-for-all. When the dead bodies are being counted later, someone might wonder what exactly happened.
“EXCLUSIVE: Border Authorities Are Counting Palestinian Migrants As Other Nationalities,” by Jennie Taer, Daily Caller News Foundation, October 25, 2023
Federal border authorities apprehending Palestinian migrants crossing into the U.S. illegally are counting them as other nationalities, according to the former chief of Border Patrol and a current agency official who is familiar with the process.
In addition to the current and former agency officials that confirmed Palestinians aren’t classified as such when they’re apprehended and processed at the border, the DCNF obtained screenshots of Border Patrol’s internal system showing that Palestine is not a category and that searching for it results in “no matches.” Federal intelligence officials have warned that Palestinian terrorists could be crossing the southern border and to be on the lookout for them, according to an internal Customs and Border Protection (CBP) memo first obtained by the DCNF.
Border Patrol agents also confirmed to the DCNF that there are no categories for Gaza or the West Bank in the country-of-origin classification system….

So they “warn” about them coming in, but no one is apprehended according to the warning label…so, nothing about which to worry, guys.
“Watch out for palestinians.
Ok, boss.
How many palestinians came across illegally, today?
None, boss.
How many from Gaza or the West Bank?
None, boss.
How many from Israel?
A whole slew, boss. But none of them Jews, sir.
And a whole bunch wearing that black and white scarf thingy. We put them down as Egyptian and Jordanian.
Good work, lackey.

It’s like all these reports after the fact that the savage was “known to the FBI.” Well, what good did that do anyone?

I believe they think it makes them look good…as if knowing about them and having their names on a list is what counts with the public.

More depravity from the Biden regime.
