The White House on Monday pushed back on hardline Republican demands to deport foreigners who joined pro-Palestinian protests, warning the proposals would not pass First Amendment protections on free speech.
Republican 2024 hopefuls are competing to see who can be toughest on demonstrators backing the Palestinian cause after Hamas terrorists killed 1400 people on October 7.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, for example, said pro-Hamas demonstrators should have their visas canceled.
John Kirby, White House national security spokesman, was asked about sending home people who support the Palestinian cause.
'I would just tell you, you don't have to agree with every sentiment as expressed in a free country like this to stand by the idea of the First Amendment and the idea of peaceful protest,' he told reporters at the daily briefing. 'I'll leave it at that.'
University campuses have been the scene of a string of protests against Israel's action in the Gaza Strip.
They have raised questions about whether its treatment of Palestinians were in part to blame for the Hamas attack, and some have characterized the assault as a form of resistance rather than terrorism.
In some cases, Republicans have suggested that anyone speaking up for Palestinians is a supporter of Hamas, designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. since 1997.
Last week, 19 Republican lawmakers joined forces to call for foreign students who have expressed support for Hamas to have their visas revoked.

The European Union helped to build more than 30 miles of water pipelines for Palestinians despite Hamas terrorists boasting of their ability to forge an arsenal of home-made rockets from pipes.
But pressuring tech companies to censor Conservatives is “good government” for Der Biden’s regime
Because that worked so well in Mogadishu, Somalia, right?
Free speech? Like that guy in jail for making a meme poking fun at the Hildebeeste?

Sure makes me feel safe.
And yet we conservatives are spoken of as “domestic terrorists.”
Seig Heil to der joebama’s MB pals who derive from the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem honored in person by Herr Hitler. A fact of the Islamofascist world movement and their joined at the hip Socialist/Fascist Leftist (Mussolini btw was first a Socialist who moved to a Socialist/Fascist command economy, and who did not like Socialists to the Left. It was, in the end Communists who murdered him and Ms. Petacci) political reality was the common hatred of their fellow Semites, the Jews.
History is to be studied and reminded to the convenient ignorance of these psychopaths. The Saudis and the Abraham Accords would have contained Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and even the PLO.
This regime does not understand the Constitution, and if/when it does understand it, it pleases the regime to ignore it.
Lolololololol.....
Keeping terrorists in our schools and funding terrorists in Gaza. Great job Biden, great.
>> it would be a ‘violation of free speech’
A right for foreigners, but not US citizens... how #’d up is that?
When I see this crap it makes me want to scream.
OK. First Amendment and all that. But “trust the UN”? They can’t be trusted not to diddle third-world children. So how can they be trusted with money?! And to keep that money from being used for terrorism?! Here’s how you do that. Distribute bottled water, food, clothing, emergency tents, medical aid and supplies. NOT MONEY!
But, but, wouldn’t their positions, since they’re different, be considered “misinformation”?

Hamas’ Advanced Weaponry: Rockets, Artillery, Drones, Cyber
EXCERPT:
The IDF identified a Hamas naval base already in 2016, before announcing the sea tunnel [discovered in 2018]. An investigation showed that it was financed “with funds siphoned from the United Nations Development Agency (UNDP).”
