[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At this point ANY student here on a student visa should immediately leave the country.

There is no rule of law here for them any longer. (or for any of us).  There is no due process for them and no recourse.

We cannot keep them safe.

Sadly, if I was in their shoes or my child was, I would have to agree. These individuals are not even afforded an opportunity to leave voluntarily.[/quote]

The remaining agitators are, however, being sent a message.  Conduct yourself like a guest in our country, or leave now voluntarily, or wait until you're evicted in consequence of your activity.  Seems like fair warning at this point.  [/quote]

Your attitude is frightening. What you're advocating is what exchange students to China are told to do. We are better than that.[/quote]

Nope. [b]Most of us know how to conduct ourselves and don't have to worry. [/b]I've never disrupted campus life or classes in my life. Stay in your own country if you don't like how our universities operate.[/quote]

Yeah - I get why you would think that. But here's the thing:

When you throw out due process, you lose the right to defend yourself in a court of law if someone says you disrupted campus, or broke the law. But you didn't.

If you allow people to be detained and transported to a private prison with no trial, with no ability to defend themselves - that's what you are allowing, for the good people too.

Because how can you prove you are a "good" one, if they swoop you up and carry you away with no court case?

+1 well said. I’m shocked and dismayed that so many don’t seem to understand this. Without due process, there is nothing to stop the government from disappearing anyone, even US citizens who have not broken any laws or “who know how to conduct” themselves in the parlance of the frighteningly naive or disingenuous PP. PP, how would you prove you’re a US citizen or a “good guest” if ICE mistakenly grabbed you on the street?[/quote]
