Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) called for the deportation of non-Americans who have participated in pro-Hamas “riots” across the nation.
Rubio was joined by Texas GOP Rep. August Pfluger II, a retired military officer, in his opinion piece in which he discussed the limits of free speech.
“The First Amendment guarantees every American the right to free speech, but no one has the right to destroy private property, trespass illegally, or attack innocent people,” Rubio and Pfluger wrote. “This is why college administrators are justified in disbanding anti-Israel protests-turned-riots by force. We can and should, however, go one step further: we should deport the non-Americans who have participated in these riots.”
“Existing law already prohibits any foreigner who ‘endorses or espouses terrorist activity’ from entering the country,” they noted, adding, “Why would any sane government allow terrorist sympathizers into the country it’s elected to protect? After all, there is no universal right to come to America, and that privilege should certainly not be extended to those who desire the overthrow of our entire system.”
“Nor do visitors have the right to stay in America if they violate the terms of their visas,” they continued. “Far from it, the U.S. government can and should remove such visitors. The law is clear on this point, as the U.S. Department of State confirmed last year.”
They slammed the Biden administration, writing, “Unfortunately, the Biden administration won’t act. Whether that is out of fear of litigation, political backlash, or both, it doesn’t matter: The government has an obligation to protect us.”
