Quote of the Day
“"If you apply for a visa to enter the United States and be a student and you tell us that the reason you’re coming to the United States is not just because you want to write op-eds, but because you want to participate in movements that are involved in doing things like vandalizing universities, harassing students, taking over buildings, creating a ruckus, we’re not going to give you a visa ... If you lie to us and get a visa and then enter the United States, and with that visa participate in that sort of activity, we’re going to take away your visa ... It might be more than 300 at this point. We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visa .. At some point I hope we run out because we’ve gotten rid of all of them.””
