So let's talk about this one student and expand on that just for a second, because I do think this is probably, in my opinion, more than just a quote example. For me, this looks like this is the beginning. This isn't just a one off. I think it's very clear the Trump administration is saying if you are here as a student on a visa and you go out and you participate in this,
Yes, there's going to be accountability. We're not screwing around. I don't think this is the last time we're going to see this.
Well, and there was an example I used in my Senate questioning that I want to flesh out a little bit because some people will say free speech, free speech. And it is absolutely right that an American citizen has a right to engage in free speech and to say things that are horrible, that are bigoted, that are hateful. You have a right to say that. I will defend your right to say that.
But it doesn't mean that you are entitled to be immune from the consequences of what you say. And so one example I gave, if you're a university student, and let's say a university student dressed in a Klan outfit and went onto campus and burned a cross and began screaming that we should murder all the African-American students.
If that university student was an American citizen, he or she would have a First Amendment right to say that. But I think the odds are 100% the university would expel them. There could be consequences for your speech when they are so vile and hateful. And if someone did that, advocating for the murder of their fellow students, they would be expelled. Now, they wouldn't be incarcerated.
It is not a crime to say that. But a university would be within its rights to say that we are not going to tolerate this level of hate directed at our fellow students.
that is what the pro-hamas protesters were saying when they said from the river to the sea when they said at the university of washington to jewish students you go back to the ovens they were arguing when that columbia woman held the sign saying al-kassam's next target pointing at jewish students they were arguing for their fellow students to be murdered in this instance because they are jews a university is fully within its right to expel that student for doing so now secondly
if someone is not a US citizen, if they are on a student visa. A student visa is a privilege. It is the United States making the decision. We think it is beneficial to us to let you come to our country. and study in our schools. It is a permissive grant.
