And to think, all it took was a new president.

Speaking at a press conference in Guyana on Thursday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that he has canceled the student visa of at least 300 foreign students as part of the Trump administration's immigration enforcement initiative.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Thursday that at least 300 foreign students have had their visas revoked amid the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, a far higher number than was previously known.

“Maybe more, it might be more than 300 at this point,” Rubio said at a press conference in Guyana when asked to confirm Axios reporting on the topic.

“We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visa,” he added, saying he hopes it’s even more than the 300 estimate.

“I hope at some point we run out because we have gotten rid of all of them, but we’re looking every day for these lunatics that are tearing things up.”

These are, presumably, the same students who are leading protests and riots, distributing antisemitic literature on college campuses, and waving Palestinian flags while leading chants of "From the river to the sea."

Here's where the story's wheels came off:

Multiple high-profile cases have come out of Columbia University, Tufts and the University of Alabama as the Trump administration’s crackdown on pro-Palestinian foreign students escalates.

On top of student visa holders, the Trump administration has gone after multiple permanent legal residents, such as Mahmoud Khalil, who has a green card.

These are not just "pro-Palestinian" foreign students. They are antisemitic, anti-Israel, and anti-American students. The very notion of being "pro-Palestinian" cannot help but make one anti-Israel, and we should note, Israel is not only the United States' only real ally in that part of the world, but they are also the only modern, civilized representative government in that part of the world.

What these students Secretary Rubio describes are not is American. They are here as guests, on the sufference of the American people. If they engage in behavior we find threatening, we can revoke their visas - and, yes, green cards can be revoked as well - and return them to their countries where they hold citizenship. Let them lead their hate parades from there; there's no reason we should have to put up with it here.

The trouble is, some of these goblins have indoctrinated American youths, too, and that's a stickier problem; we can't just kick them out, they're citizens.

It's a baffling thing, the depths to which these young skulls full of mush have been dragged down. Western civilization and the United States, while we've a few blemishes in our history, have been overwhelmingly a force for good in the world. It was Western civilization that gave the world the Industrial Revolution and, later, the Information Revolution, which have made the modern world possible. The countries these foreign students come from, the ones that are over here leading chants for Intifada, are from cultures that can make no such boasts. Gaza has added precisely nothing to the well-being of the nations of the world; nor has modern Lebanon, or Syria, or Iran.

We can't fix those countries. We can protect our own. Ejecting these foreign agitators is one way to do that.


Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
