Tim Scott Says He'd Deport Pro-Hamas Foreign Students

Senator Tim Scott, known for his straightforward approach, wasted no time in delivering a powerful response. He made it clear that federal funding and student visas are privileges, not rights, and any campus tolerating anti-Semitism should lose its federal funding immediately. His bold statement earned a round of applause and left no room for ambiguity – if you’re promoting hate or terrorism, you’re out!
Governor Ron DeSantis, true to form, echoed Scott’s sentiments. He reiterated his strong stance on foreign students making common cause with Hamas, promising swift deportation with no questions asked. This hard-hitting approach is a breath of fresh air for those tired of weak-kneed responses to anti-Semitic behavior.
But it doesn’t stop there. Scott and DeSantis aren’t just talking the talk; they’re walking the walk. Scott vocalized the need to stand strong with Jewish Americans and emphasized the importance of forcefully removing anti-Semites from college campuses and, frankly, from the country as well. DeSantis, on the other hand, wasted no time in revoking the visas of foreign students aligned with Hamas, a move that garnered cheers from the crowd in Miami, Florida.
And let’s not forget DeSantis’s crackdown on Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), a radical pro-Palestine student network with ties to Hamas. DeSantis has taken the bold step of ordering Florida’s university system to deactivate its SJP chapters in compliance with Florida’s laws against anti-Semitism. This firm and decisive action against groups supporting terrorist organizations is a clear signal that DeSantis is not afraid to take on the Woke, anti-Semitic movement.
Scott and DeSantis are not mincing words when it comes to combating anti-Semitism on college campuses. Their no-nonsense approach and strong stance against those promoting hate and terrorism are a breath of fresh air in today’s political climate. It’s time for action, not empty rhetoric, and these candidates are stepping up to the plate to confront anti-Semitism head-on. With their unwavering resolve, they are demonstrating true leadership and a commitment to standing up for Jewish students and the values of our nation.
