Good riddance.

Perhaps someone should remind the Moussad agents on this thread that the United States is our country, not theirs, and they should show some gratitude for all the help we have provided in assuring their existence despite the well-earned desire of many to see them wiped off the face of the planet.

Agree 100%.

So WHY did the last Democrat administration throw billions of OUR taxpayer dollars to ISRAEL?

Thought this story deserved its own thread. Grad student whose only apparent connection to pro-Palestinian speech was co-writing an op ed last year calling on the President to consider student Senate resolutions passed about the Israel-Gaza conflict. She was put into an unmarked car by multiple masked people who show no id.

A neighbor's commentary:

When shown a video of the arrest, Ferraro became visibly emotional.

“It’s too much,” he said. “I don’t need to live in a place where people get plucked off the street like that, just walking around. That’s bananas. That’s just insane.”

“I don’t care what she was doing,” Ferraro continued. “You can’t just nab people off the sidewalk and throw them in a car and take them away, and expect anyone who’s seen it to be alright afterwards.”

Long overdue

F1 students are fed into OPT program and used to replace US entry level workers

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) has introduced H.R. 2315, the Fairness for High-Skilled Americans Act, to eliminate the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program that businesses use to avoid hiring American graduates:

OPT has grown more than 400% in recent years and is bigger than the H-1B program, which OPT was created to circumvent.
Employers get a discount for NOT hiring Americans because they don't have to pay payroll taxes on OPT employees. The FICA fund loses out on $2.5 billion each year due to this.

OPT visas are not merit-based, have no wage protections, and no restrictions or limitations.

Fewer than 50% of U.S. STEM graduates are finding jobs in STEM fields, while 53% of OPT workers are in STEM fields.

The OPT program is harming American STEM grads by giving companies a financial incentive to hire temporary foreign workers, even though the government is actively encouraging American students to study for STEM degrees.

Stop the exploitation and help our own children.

I’ll be helping my own children by finding a way to get them out of this autocratic hellhole. My fellow Americans don’t deserve their talents.

India is desperate for smart people. Start there

I just can't imagine any poster on here getting a student visa to the UK or France (just for example) and then while there openly, loudly, and publicly complaining about their government.

Turkish and Chinese students can go home and say whatever they want to about U.S. or their own country's foreign policies. Their home governments may or may not tolerate them doing so. I suspect they'd be much more circumspect at home than they have been here.

It's disgusting that you're trying to justify this. Everyone has absolute rights. That's what this country was founded on.

Non-citizens do not have absolute rights, simple legal reality.

They do have a right to due process and the same laws that apply to you and me have to be followed when dealing with immigrants. You don't just get to decide one day that you don't like they have protections under the 1st amendment and arrest everyone that you disagree with. what the hell is wrong with you???

Here in the United States we have something called the Frist Amendment which applies to everyone, not just those who you like to hear from. You are free to disagree with her. Perhaps we should throw you in jail since I don't like what you have to say.

Can you cite a source that states legal immigrants do not have rights such as due process? Because I’m pretty sure the constitution does in fact cover non-citizens.

Guests should never have identical rights and responsibilities as permanent residents.

The thing is, they do.

Learn about the law.

Noncitizens have First Amendment and Due Process rights as does any human being in the USA. That's the law.

There is no indication that the student who is the subject of this thread "openly, loudly, and publicly complaining about the government." Start your own thread about that kind of behavior. This student did not do that.

Are you really expecting these uneducated low lives to know that?

Israel is our government? Yeah, you’re right, never mind. Israel and its powerful lobbies here in the US run this country. And if you speak out about it, you are immediately branded an “anti-Semite.” So convenient!

Are you intentionally or inadvertently conflating the U.S. government with Israel?

Here is Rubio at a press conference where, when asked about the Turkish student, he went on a tirade describing behavior that this particular student has not participated in. He provided no evidence that she did anything wrong. If they want to make an example of a foreign student behaving badly, this is not the right one.

Because they are ALL captured. Democrats and Republicans alike. Democracy was defeated by greed.

They weren't protesting just Israel. They were protesting US Government policy/support OF Israel.

And no I wouldn't expect France or the UK to enjoy my political commentary on how they run their own Foreign Policy.

These people are NOT US Citizens, no matter how much everyone tries to pretend that student visas and green cards are exactly the same thing. They aren't.
