Once again, Trump puts foot firmly in mouth on an issue that could actually win him the election.
Biden may support Bibi to an unhealthy extent, but Trump literally wants to deport protestors which is to me un-American. The choice should be clear to the professional protesting class which is the lesser of two evils.
It's a privilege to receive a student visa not a right.
Not sure what that has to do with my post?
Pretty certain a majority of the protesters are American college students.
Most aren't burning flags or saying death to America. Most just oppose America's support of Israel with regard to Gaza. No one should be deported for speaking their mind unless said speech incites violence or such.
Investigate, sure. Deport without, no. I say this as someone who had a roommate who is considered a Muslim radical, btw.
Did he participate in encampments or join protests openly celebrating a terrorist attack on our ally. Any person who does that on a student visa should have their student visa stripped from them regardless of what they were protesting for.
The average American will either not care or outright support Trump removing foreign students who are Palestinian protestors. Even a lot of younger voters are mixed, may sympathize with both sides, see reasons for Israel conducting this war but dislike Bibi and think he is overdoing it.
None of these protestors getting arrested care one bit about the stars and stripes. We don't need people in here who are either chanting "death to America" or telling us how terrible the country and the need to dismantle our system. The goal of our university system is to strengthen the country by promoting our ideals through education, not provide wannabe despots with tools to be used against us.
And let's face it, within this movement there are plenty of Stalinist types who if given an opportunity would commit unspeakable crimes. Read their literature and websites and you will quickly realize this is not a peaceful movement. All it will take is one major act of violence and Marc Lamont Hill and other Stalinists' academic careers will come to a very end per federal legislation ($$$ will be cut off).
