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….
Existing law already prohibits any foreigner who “endorses or espouses terrorist activity” from entering the country…. Unfortunately, the Biden Administration won’t act…. As lawmakers, we cannot force the president’s hand on this, but we can remove any legal ambiguity surrounding the question of deportation. Our bicameral Terrorist Inadmissibility Codification Act would do just that….
