DeSantis: ‘I Would Yank Student Visas of Pro-Hamas Protesters’

DeSantis: “So, Eric, you do not have a right, a foreigner does not have a right to be here. They’re here at the grace of the American people. If they’re on a student visa, that is absolutely revocable based on government policy. And so what I would say is, if you’re a foreign national on a student visa, if you’re out demonstrating in favor of Hamas and terrorist attacks against innocent people in Israel, I would yank the visa, I would send you home. We only have so many spots at these universities as it is. I think that that we need to do more American students to begin with. Nevertheless, we have every right to do it. And if you look at what’s happened in Europe, you know, they’ve imported a lot of people, and now it’s really changed the underlying dynamics of those societies. You have massive pro-Hamas demonstrations, massive anti-Semitism all over. I don’t want that here in the United States. So, yes, we will be very forceful, we’ll send people back, because we just need to nip this in the bud. I’ve seen a lot of stuff, people take to the streets, things I disagree. That’s fine. But to support openly a terrorist organization like that, I think that’s a new low for a lot of these universities.”
