I haven't thought through all the ways a Dem will abuse this power, but imagine Hilldawg or Blinken tossing people for mocking Zelensky or supporting Russia. Little Marco actually has stasi monitoring social media for things he doesn't like. This board should be appalled, but I guess I'm not surprised.

How is subjugating American policy to a foreign government not globalism?

Why can't you address his point about Israel directly?



IDK about Israel and hate how much the Trump admin bows to them but if the result of that is fewer student visas being handed out, then I am OK with it

We need to make college more affordable for Americans and fewer foreign students subsidized by Americans tuition is one small step towards that

I also want them vetted for any hate speech against the US on their social media

You're right. What this country is missing is more foreign students coming here to deride our country and foster unrest since we obviously don't have enough of that already without them.

What this more than likely reveals is that Israel's actions are indefensible. If you have to suppress protests against their actions it's not because they're doing anythin good.

Yep. Israel's actions are viewed as those of a pariah state.

Just because they own so many US politicians doesn't change that.

Dude I have nephews and know many with kids that are getting left out of bigger schools for foreign students. It’s absurd and then the foreigners get to stay on country to work or job training for two years eventually taking away our jobs. This is about foreigners not Americans

We're not, though. I mean you may be, but me and Trump and the other posters aren't.

He did an apology tour and bent the knee at concentration camps with Bibi and Ben Shapiro. That didn't do a whole lot to discredit the idea that certain people run the world.

I thought it was the opposite.

Universities subsidize costs for Americans by over-charging foreign students.

This is a LOT different than anti-Israel speech.

And people spin legit criticism of the US or its policy into "hate". You have to be very careful.

Except that statement applies to government watching its own citizens. This is vetting foreigners before they come here.


The Patriot Act is only to help keep us safe…..SURELY the government would never go too far and trample on the rights of American citizens.


Right? RIGHT?!?!

They're peaceful contributors to our society so there is no reason to not want them here other than some weird phobia of foreigners.



They aren't competing on a level playing field with Americans. Why do they get special tax and loan considerations to buy a business that Americans don't? Why do you support them having such an advantage over citizens?

Yes let's all pretend to those protests have zero anti-American elements to them. Let's also pretend they were peaceful and didn't Target Jewish students who were American citizens

I'm no fan of Israel. The Jewish Lobby is far too powerful in America for a variety of reasons. But no matter how far down the list of favorites Israel Falls they're still about 10 notches above anything related to Islam

Regardless. We're not going to let you come to our country as a fricking guest and take over our campuses while threatening American citizens students no matter how much we may like or dislike Jews specifically
