that we had entered, quote, the end of history, that every nation would now be a liberal democracy, that the ties formed by trade and by commerce alone would now replace nationhood, that the rules-based global order, an overused term, would now replace the national interest, and that we would now live in a world without borders where everyone became a citizen of the world.
This was a foolish idea that ignored both human nature and it ignored the lessons of over 5,000 years of recorded human history.
harder and harder to ignore that the echoes of replacement theory and other racially motivated views are increasingly coming out into the open.
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 going to give you a visa.
If you lie to us and get a visa and then enter the United States and with that visa participate in that sort of activity, we're going to take away your visa.
And once you've lost your visa,
You're no longer legally in the United States, and we have a right, like every country in the world has a right, to remove you from our country.
So it's just that simple.
I think it's crazy.
I think it's stupid for any country in the world to welcome people into their country that are 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.
I don't care what movement you're involved in.
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.
If you invite me into your home because you say, I want to come to your house for dinner, and I go to your house and I start putting mud on your couch and spray painting your kitchen, I bet you you're going to kick me out.
But we're going to do the same thing if you come into the United States as a visitor and create a ruckus for us.
We don't want it.
