Trump administration bars Harvard from enrolling international students

[Belk]

And you agree that Harvard isn't entitled to receive taxpayer money, right?

That is up to congress to decide.

 

[Belk]

Civil rights violations are a federal matter.

Then it needs to be dealt with and adjudicated in a court of law.

That is up to congress to decide.

What's your vote? Harvard is filthy rich. Why should taxpayers continue to fund them instead of feeding the homeless?

What's your vote? Harvard is filthy rich. Why should taxpayers continue to fund them instead of feeding the homeless?

Because medical research is highly beneficial to all man kind. The breakthroughs that lead to GLPT-1 and the speed of the COVID vaccine both came from government funded university studies.

Not to mention I have yet to see a fund to feed the homeless that conservatives have not tried to cut or saddle with work requirements that cost more to administer then they save.

This story is not about funding, but rather about the ability for a private university to admit the students it chooses to admit.

The Covid vaccine is a bad example. It was a failure.

Shouldn't the American people have a say in who comes to our nation?

Ah.

Suspicions confirmed. Thank you.

 

[essentialsaltes]

Shouldn't the American people have a say in who comes to our nation?

We do. Harvard can only admit students.

We The People can grant or deny student visas.

The current action does not deport any students from our nation; they are just being forced to transfer to some other university.

Is it ok with you that foreigners come here with student visas and then become political activists?

 

[essentialsaltes]

Is it ok with you that foreigners come here with student visas and then become political activists?

It's a free country. For now.

 

[Beth77]

It's a free country. For now.

So foreigners first, citizens last.

Is it ok with you that foreigners come here with student visas and then become political activists?

I doubt you’d be saying the same thing if they came and became pro life right wing activists.

 

[GoldenBoy89]

So foreigners first, citizens last.

Constitutional rights are not a zero sum game. Citizens don’t lose anything by extending the same rights, protections and freedoms we all enjoy in this country to foreign students.

 

[Beth77]

I doubt you’d be saying the same thing if they came and became pro life right wing activists.

In other words you're saying that I have no integrity.

I disagree with the practice of foreigners coming here on a student visa and then engaging in American politics. They should be deported.

 

[essentialsaltes]

So foreigners first, citizens last.

Citizens are also and equally free to speak their minds or become political activists without fear of the government.

 

[GoldenBoy89]

In other words you're saying that I have no integrity.

Well, we’ll see right now just how principled you are.

I disagree with the practice of foreigners coming here on a student visa and then engaging in American politics.

How do you feel about wealthy foreigners coming in and being given direct involvement in and influence over the federal government?

Do you believe that the State of Israel is the fulfillment of God's promise to the Jews?

 

[Beth77]

Well, we’ll see right now just how principled you are.

No thanks. I'm not going to engage you further.
