Private property, trespass them, round them up, and take them to jail. Sort out the non-citizens, cancel their visas, deport them. Put all of them on no-fly lists.

They aren’t afraid.
They are very confident.
Bring in some Billy clubs beating out a bossa nova on their heads.

Nah, imagine replacing the ungrateful folks with veterans looking to get their college degrees after completing service. And other qualified Americans that are skipped because foreigners and their governments pay more.

I think Columbia is the granddaddy. Yup. Columbia school was the American haven for the Frankfurt School of Neo-Marxists for 15 years.

When I saw a video of the protestors being arrested and hauled away, it occcured to me that Billy clubs were invented for just such people.
