Do conservatives think free speech should apply to tourists, foreign students, green card holders, etc?

You keep talking about Hamas, but Rubio doesn't mention them in that quote or any of their actions in the quote I'm responding to. He's clearly talking about student protests in the US. So why are you still talking about Hamas?



Actually, that's very cringe and awkward. Just say "My bad" and move on.

It's a very immature way to communicate.

 

[reflechissez]

No, you're there as a guest of the country. Show some respect to your hosts

If there's one thing you people value, respect is definitely high on the list.

The people in question didnt aid and abbet.

They arent cgarged with anything of the kind.

Point of fact: The revocation of a student visa doesn't require criminal charges.

More specifically:

The Secretary of State has broad discretionary authority to revoke a student visa under Section 221(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), codified at 8 U.S.C. § 1201(i), which states that a consular officer or the Secretary can revoke a visa at any time for what they deem to be "good and sufficient cause." There are no specific statutory requirements limiting this authority, and the Supreme Court’s 2024 ruling in Bouarfa v. DHS upheld that visa revocations are generally not subject to judicial review, except in rare cases involving constitutional violations.​

Explainer: Revocation of Student Visas and Termination of SEVIS Records

You can find a PDF version of this paper by clicking here. By Arturo Castellanos-Canales In recent months, the U.S. government has revoked over 1,600 student visas and terminated the SEVIS records[1] of over 4,700 international students,[2] often without prior notice or clear justification...

immigrationforum.org

and in particular:

Violation of Visa Terms: Students who fail to comply with visa conditions, such as maintaining full-time enrollment, not engaging in unauthorized employment, or participating in activities inconsistent with their stated purpose (e.g., political activism deemed disruptive), may face revocation. Rubio emphasized this in March 2025, stating visas could be revoked for students who "lie" about their intent and engage in activism.​

Marco Rubio says 300 student visas have been revoked, including detentions at Tufts, Columbia and more

The comments come amid two more high-profile detentions by ICE of a Tufts University student and a University of Alabama student.

The lies need to stop.

It is yours, and the left's, mischaracterizations, gross exaggerations, distortions, false claims, and spin which need to stop.

What lies and distortion? You’ve spent this thread insisting people should be kicked out of the country if they say things that hurt Republican feelings. What part of that is a mischaracterization?

It’s amazing you’ve got the gall to act this high and mighty about Truth, given you’re a Trumpist.

You people don’t have a foundational basis for reality in any way whatsoever.

 

[Hamish Howl]

I think it would be fine kicking a foreign visitor out who burning an American flag in public protest.

That's because you hate America.

Either that or you're the type that walks into a restaurant and eats the menu.

Your claiming this carries so little weight, just can't imagine how little.

You've not improved with age, sorry to say.

[Jetboogieman]

You've not improved with age, sorry to say.

Exactly the response I would expect from someone who defends the biggest pedo enabler in history save for former popes.

How does that feel by the way?

 

[justoneman]

Apparently you like foreigners burning the US flag here in the US.

 

[justoneman]

Exactly the response I would expect from someone who defends the biggest pedo enabler in history save for former popes.

How does that feel by the way?

Do you mean Bill Clinton or Joe Biden?

 

[Jetboogieman]

Do you mean Bill Clinton or Joe Biden?

Who destroyed the Epstein list?

Exactly the response I would expect from someone who defends the biggest pedo enabler in history save for former popes.

Yup. Not improved. Still a troll.

Have a nice evening.

 

[Jetboogieman]

Hah.

He dares to ****ing deny it.

 

[justoneman]

Who destroyed the Epstein list?

You mentioned some pedo. I assumed you meant either Clinton or Biden.

 

[NolanVoyd]

Apparently you like foreigners burning the US flag here in the US.

I like freedom. The fact that in the USA it is not illegal to burn the very symbol of that freedom is the ultimate expression of that freedom.

That is the kind of thing that makes America Great.

 

[justoneman]

I like freedom. The fact that in the USA it is not illegal to burn the very symbol of that freedom is the ultimate exoression of that freedom.

That is the kind of thing that makes America Great.

And when foreigners as guests here, burn the flag they need to go back to their country. They do not enjoy the same rights as US citizens.

 

[NolanVoyd]

And when foreigners as guests here, burn the flag they need to go back to their country.

why?

They need to have freedom explained to them, what better way then using their own action as a case in point

and what foreigner are you talking about anyway?

They do not enjoy the same rights as US citizens.

Not entirely no, but they do enjoy many of them. Why not this one?

I dont get it.

 

[Grizzly Adams]

You keep talking about Hamas, but Rubio doesn't mention them in that quote or any of their actions in the quote I'm responding to. He's clearly talking about student protests in the US. So why are you still talking about Hamas?

Student protests in the US can't advocate for what Hamas is doing?

Actually, that's very cringe and awkward. Just say "My bad" and move on.

No, you deserve your moment. You caught me not remembering something I never said. Bully for you.

 

[exoplanet]

Student protests in the US can't advocate for what Hamas is doing?

Once again, why are you still talking about Hamas?

 

[Grizzly Adams]

Once again, why are you still talking about Hamas?

I thought I just told you.

 

[exoplanet]

I thought I just told you.

If you thought asking me a question in return was actually an explanation, you should know by my response that it wasn't.

Once again, why are you still talking about Hamas?
