On one hand I feel it’s good we are offering an expedited means to help alleviate the problem refugees from Gaza are facing. However, on the flip side I think this should be standard operating procedure for most immigration - even expedited. The risk is we have no intelligence on these individuals and need to know we are not bringing in radicalized people who can create problems down the road.
I think that if the government decides to do this, they need to do this for all refugee/immigration applicants. It shouldn't be a process done only for Palestinians fleeing their homes due to an aggressive neighbor wanting to forcefully expel everyone from their homes, that the west happens to support blindly. Unfortunately, I suspect it won't be applied for all applicants and will only be done for Palestinians and others who happen to be citizens of a country from 'the other side'.
