'We gave you a visa to come and study and get a degree, not to become a social activist that tears up our university campuses.'
Marco Rubio On Student Visa Revocations: “Why would any country in the world allow people to come and disrupt?”
“We gave you a visa to come and study and get a degree, not to become a social activist that tears up our university campuses.”His answer could not have been more clear. He makes a solid and completely logical case for why this is happening.Mr. Secretary, a Turkish student in Boston was detained and handcuffed on the street by plainclothes agents. A year ago, she wrote an opinion piece about the Gaza war.
If you go apply for a visa right now anywhere in the world, let me just send this message out. If you apply for a visa to enter the United States and be a student, and you tell us that the reason why you’re coming to the United States is not just because you want to write op-eds, but because you want to participate in movements that are involved in doing things like vandalizing universities, harassing students, taking over buildings, creating a ruckus, we’re not gonna give you a visa.
I think it’s crazy. I think it’s stupid for any country in the world to welcome people into their country — they’re going to go to your universities as visitors, they’re visitors, and say, “I’m going to your universities to start a riot. I’m going to your universities to take over a library and harass people.”
