It might be more than 300 at this point. We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visas,
None of them have criminal records,
There’s something uniquely disturbing about sending a message to the best and the brightest around the world, who traditionally have flocked to U.S. universities because of their openness, because of their freedom, because of their intellectual vigor, and now say, ‘We don’t want you here,
If you invite me into your home because I say, ‘Oh, I want to go to your house for dinner,’ and I come into your house and I start putting mud on your couch and spray-painting your kitchen, I bet you you’re going to kick me out,
Doroudi’s arrest comes on the heels of the baseless arrest of students and a green card holder as apparent retaliation against their speech and activism against war,
This is a horrifying violation of Rumeysa's constitutional rights to due process and free speech. She must be immediately released,
At some point I hope we run out because we've gotten rid of them,
If you lie to us and get a visa and then enter the United States, and with that visa, participate in that sort of activity, we're going to take away your visa,

I don't care what movement you're involved in,
I encourage every country to do that, by the way, because I think it's crazy to invite students into your country that are coming onto your campus and destabilizing it,
That's one of their biggest cash cows, foreign students. That's a meaningful source of revenue for them,
