The First Amendment guarantees every American the right to free speech, but no one has the right to destroy private property, trespass illegally, or attack innocent people.
This is why college administrators are justified in disbanding anti-Israel protests-turned-riots by force. We can and should, however, go one step further: we should deport the non-Americans who have participated in these riots.
Nor do visitors have the right to stay in America if they violate the terms of their visas. Far from it, the U.S. government can and should remove such visitors. The law is clear on this point, as the U.S. Department of State confirmed last year. Unfortunately, the Biden administration won’t act. Whether that is out of fear of litigation, political backlash, or both, it doesn’t matter: The government has an obligation to protect us.
This measure deserves bipartisan approval. No one, Republican or Democrat, should want to privilege people who celebrate indiscriminate violence against the United States and its allies. Yet progressive Democrats in Congress have blocked the legislation’s passage. They claim they’re protecting the Constitution, but since there’s no Constitutional right to a visa, it’s fair to say they’re really afraid of angering their fanatical base.
We can’t allow these radicals to get their way. This is why passing the Terrorist Inadmissibility Codification Act is so important. The more we cave to the pro-Hamas movement’s implicit or explicit threats, the more its power and influence will expand. In contrast, empowering the U.S. government to deport foreign pro-Hamas and anti-American protesters would send a clear message that far-left bullies remain subject to the law.
