Secretary of State Marco Rubio blasted open-border activists this week, declaring it “absurd” to claim America must accept every immigrant. His fiery remarks came as the Trump administration escalated visa cancellations targeting foreign students involved in anti-Israel protests.
Rubio slammed the idea that borders should be meaningless. “A visa isn’t a right – it’s a privilege we grant to those who respect our values,” he told senators. Over 4,700 international students recently had visas revoked after leading campus encampments demanding schools cut ties with Israel.
The State Department isn’t backing down. ICE arrested ringleaders like Columbia University’s Mahmoud Khalil, who remains jailed after nine weeks. Another activist, Tufts University’s Rumeysa Ozturk, faced deportation for attacking America’s alliance with Israel in a radical op-ed.
Universities enabling chaos are getting squeezed too. The administration threatens to strip federal funding from colleges like Harvard unless they ditch woke diversity programs. “These schools preach hatred of America while taking our tax dollars,” Rubio said.
Meanwhile, Homeland Security wants 20,000 National Guard troops to hunt down illegal immigrants. Military lawyers are reviewing plans to deploy guardsmen nationwide – a bold move to secure communities overrun by Biden-era border failures.
Rubio’s team rolled out a merit-based immigration system prioritizing skilled workers over family chain migration. “We pick who comes based on what’s good for America,” he stated, announcing visa bans on foreign officials who abuse human rights.
The secretary exposed the left’s hypocrisy: “No nation on earth has open borders. Why should we?” His message resonates with patriots tired of universities and protesters attacking our allies while demanding special treatment.
This crackdown puts America first. By standing with Israel, enforcing laws, and blocking radicals, Trump and Rubio are protecting our sovereignty from anarchists who hate Western values.
