Eric Swalwell Says 'Kicking Every Russian Student' Out of the U.S. Should Be 'On the Table'

Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California suggested Friday that kicking Russian students out of U.S. colleges and universities should be looked at as a possible deterrent to Russia after the country's President Vladimir Putin launched an invasion into Ukraine earlier this week.

Asked during a Thursday appearance on "CNN Newsroom" about potential sanctions the U.S. should use against Russia, Swalwell proposed penalizing Russian students attending college in the U.S.

"Frankly, I think closing [Russia's] embassy in the United States, kicking every Russian student out of the United States, those should all be on the table," Swalwell said. "Vladimir Putin needs to know every day that he is in Ukraine, there are more severe options that could come."

The left-wing Gravel Institute slammed Swalwell's remarks on Twitter, calling his suggestion an "absolutely atrocious idea," adding that ordinary people "should not be punished for the actions of their government."

Why? The men students are better off here so Vlad can’t send them out to get killed in his latest act of aggression.

For once he talks sense. Make them an utter pariah state. Send those young folks full of hormones and aggression back to Russia and let them give the criminal regime problems. That was a reason for Soviet universal conscription. 18 year old boys can be a lot of trouble if you don’t put them under military discipline.

I wonder if he’d say the same thing about Chinese students if the CCP invaded Taiwan?

Especially young pretty ones…like Fang Fang.

How are they a pariah state when the majority of humans on Earth do not condemn them. China and India both refused to vote for the UN resolution condemning Russia.

Add in Iran, the UAE, Pakistan, Afghanistan . . . almost certain the majority of humans alive blame the US.

Who is the pariah?

I agree. Enemy aliens need to be deported.

About 20 million of them by my reckoning.

That could depend of how much Hunter gets in kickbacks for "The Big Guy".

The left had a great love affair with Russia until Russia was no longer the Bat Cave of international communism.

I’d be feeling a lot safer if we closed our border and kicked every illegal alien out, and also stopped importing all the Afghani refugees.
