Rubio Urges Biden to Revoke Visas for Hamas Supporters
Senator Marco Rubio is urging President Biden to cancel visas for foreign nationals who support Hamas, following the terrorist group's recent attack on Israeli citizens. Rubio argues that individuals who endorse or espouse terrorist activity, including those who defend or support Hamas, should not be allowed to enter or stay in the United States. He plans to introduce legislation that would force the Biden administration to take action and also proposes withholding federal funding from colleges and universities that allow pro-Palestine protests or activities that could be seen as endorsing or espousing terrorist activity. Pro-Palestine and pro-Israel demonstrations have taken place across the U.S., with conflicting views within the Democratic Party over the conflict. President Biden is working to ease the humanitarian costs of the war with Hamas and has called for non-essential personnel to leave Israel and the West Bank.
