We crossed the Rubicon as soon as they first passed the Patriot Act. It has just taken technology a little time to become advanced enough to resemble Big Brother.

Except that statement applies to government watching its own citizens. This is vetting foreigners before they come here. But you already knew that. We abso-fricking-lutely should.

So now we trust government to start using a certain power and never over use it? This can absolutely be a terrible road to go down, for both sides to use it for their cause.

Ever notice it's always the same posters jumping on the "anything Trump does, I am against".

Bunk.. now power man. Soon sfp, roger... etc.

Good little "conservatives" that want literal globalism that transforms us into something nobody wants but them.

I’m not sure if this is the way but I’m guessing our current vetting system misses a ton of people that hate America.

Also, people hiring routinely review social media to weed out the undesirable.

What is exactly are the consequences of over using it? Fewer people come in and we’re safer? Oh no! The horror!

As opposed to everyone coming in under Biden. It cost Americans lives.

Well, I am not convinced that the student visas were being properly vetted in the first place...

It's cute you don't think conservative, christian, white, Asian, straight males arent already getting singled out for discrimination.

You think using one's opinion on Israel should be the litmus test for whether or not they deserve to attend school in our country? Because I think that's a pretty fricked up litmus test.

No one has a right to the issuance of a student visa.

Frankly, no one has a right to one that's been issued, but there's arguably a vested interest in that to some degree.

Musk initially came to the US on a student visa.

Its an example of "watching the dollar bills flyover your head while your fortune walks out the door."

I get it. Schools like Columbia have had an infatuation with revolutionaries and antagonists forever, but the real problem is much deeper and these stop gap measures will do jack shite.

Good. Even the ones that aren't terrorists are bad for our university campuses.

I would love to see 100% of Indian and SE Asians out of our universities. All it does is hasten the demise of the US middle class in exchange for increasing the economic future of our world-wide competitors.
