Secretary of State Marco Rubio blasted the idea that America must accept unlimited immigrants, calling it “absurd” and “dangerous.” He slammed open-border activists for pushing policies that threaten national security and undermine American workers. Rubio made it clear: America’s immigration system exists to serve Americans first, not the world.
“A visa isn’t a right—it’s a privilege,” Rubio declared, announcing thousands of cancellations for foreign students who disrupted campuses with anti-Israel protests. The State Department has revoked visas for those supporting Hamas-linked activism, with more enforcement coming. Foreigners who abuse their student status to push radical agendas, Rubio warned, will be sent packing immediately.
The Trump administration is mobilizing 20,000 National Guard troops to assist in deporting criminal illegal aliens, doubling down on law and order. Rubio praised the move, stressing that illegal border crossers have no right to stay. “Break our laws, face consequences,” he said, defending the unprecedented use of military resources to secure communities.
Rubio confirmed a strict “pick and choose” policy for admitting refugees, prioritizing America’s safety and interests. Liberals want to let in anyone claiming hardship, but Rubio called that reckless. “We decide who enters—not activists, not foreign governments, not the UN,” he said. The era of automatic approvals, he argued, is over.
While Democrats cry about “compassion,” Rubio pointed to cities collapsing under migrant crises they created. Schools, hospitals, and taxpayers are buckling—proof that open borders don’t work. “You can’t save the world by destroying America,” he said, accusing the left of valuing illegal immigrants over citizens.
Foreign students like Rumeysa Ozturk, who attacked Israel’s right to defend itself, learned the hard way: anti-American rhetoric has consequences. ICE detained her and others fueling campus chaos. Rubio vowed to keep purging universities of foreign radicals, saying, “If you hate America, don’t come here.”
The administration is bypassing bureaucratic red tape to fast-track deportations, with Rubio declaring most immigration actions exempt from lengthy federal reviews. Efficiency matters when lives are at stake, he argued. Critics call it authoritarian, but Rubio fired back: “We’re saving lives by enforcing laws weak leaders ignored.”
America’s message under Trump and Rubio is simple: loyalty to this nation comes first. The border isn’t a suggestion, laws aren’t optional, and citizenship isn’t a handout. As Rubio put it, “Patriots protect their country—they don’t apologize for it.” The days of America Last are finished.
