Rubio asks Biden administration to cancel visas for foreign nationals supporting Hamas

BY JOE JACQUEZ - 10/14/23 6:08 PM ET

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is calling on President Biden to cancel visas for foreign nationals supporting Hamas in the wake of the terrorist group’s unprecedented attack on Israeli citizens near the Gaza Strip.

“America is the most generous nation on earth, but we cannot allow foreign nationals who support terrorist groups like Hamas and march in our streets calling for ‘intifada’ to enter or stay in our country,” Rubio said in a Saturday release.

Rubio also announced that he would take action himself.

“In addition to demanding the Biden Administration apply our existing laws, I will introduce legislation to force them to act,” Rubio said.

In addition, Rubio said he would pursue legislation that withholds federal funding from colleges and universities that allow pro-Palestine protests, demonstrations and other activities that could be seen to “endorse or espouse terrorist activity or persuade others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization.”

The people seeking those VISAS, certainly are not going to say they support a terrorist organization.

The right wing Cuban-American exile shows his colors again. After all the mewling about the tyrannical Cuban gov't limiting free travel (not true) he shows his right wingnut bona fide - which is lying.
