[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not understanding the point people are making. The explanation from Rubio says she was taken because her visa was rejected, so there was that first that triggered it. As for revoking a visa, they can for any reason. If she had said she intends to write political op-eds while being a grad student then she would not have been granted that visa. Then as explained by Rubio, when they found she lied on her visa they decided to revoke it. What's the issue? A visa is not a license to do anything including political speech, it's granted to come here and study that's it.[/quote]

Students on visa are allowed to have political opinions. They’re even allowed to write about them in their student newspapers! This has never been grounds for revoking a visa.

Face up to the fact that they revoked it for political reasons. She criticized Israel! That’s it 😂[/quote]

Did you know that the US visa applications included a question whether the applicant were ever associated with a Communist organization? if they answered yes to that question then they most likely were rejected. Being associated with a communist party was a legit political belief in some countries and still is, so why was it there in visa application. Because the US government can decide who they want to bring over here. It's a right of the nation to determine what political beliefs is spread here. The US has never been a democracy where anything was permitted, it's a limited form of democracy where a two party system that doesn't deviate too much from each other was setup and then followed, for commercial reasons. Whether this is good or bad, that's what people have chosen and lived under for couple of centuries now. There has been times when the current political beliefs of the elected government decided visa rules. This is not something to feign alarm and hysteria. [/quote]
