Marco Rubio Calls for Revocation of Visas for Foreign Students Who Support Hamas

This is exactly the right thing to do. Foreign students who are in this country do not have a ‘right’ to be here. You support Hamas? You deserve to be shown the door.

Marco Rubio calls for revocation of visas of Hamas loversSecretary of State Marco Rubio (R-Fl.), who was confirmed for his new role leading the State Department in a Senate vote on Monday, said during his confirmation hearing that the federal government should revoke the visas of Hamas supporters staying in the U.S.The anti-Israel protests that caused chaos on many American campuses following the Oct. 7 massacre frequently saw activists glorify terrorist groups like Hamas. Activists have used pro-Hamas signs, lionized terrorist leaders, and praised the Oct. 7 massacre of Jewish civilians.In May, 2024, a top Hamas member thanked “the great student flood which emerged from the American, European, and Western universities.”Sen. Dave McCormick (R-Pa.) mentioned an op-ed he and Rubio co-wrote regarding visa revocation of terrorist supporters, and asked Rubio “how will [he] enforce our laws to ensure that we remove supporters of terrorist groups from our country.”“My view on this is one of common sense,” Rubio stated. “If you apply for a visa to come into the United States, and in the process of being looked at, it comes to light that you are a supporter of Hamas, [then] we wouldn’t let you in. If we knew you were a supporter of Hamas, we would not give you a visa. So now that you got the visa and you’re inside the U.S., and now we realize you’re a supporter of Hamas, we should remove your visa.”“If you could not come in because you’re a supporter of Hamas, you should not be able to stay on a visa because you’re a supporter of Hamas,” he continued. “That’s how I view it. And I think that’s just an issue of common sense, and we intend to be very forceful about that.”
