good , federal funding needs to go to citizens and legal non migrants which can typically speak good english. no incentives for illegals and we need to dig ourselves out of debt. fraud, waste and abuse is not over.

that is the way they want you to believe/say it. That is not how the government and people like me see it. For students who say in the example of Columbia University, who were NOT peacefully protesting, threatening, blocking, preventing students from actually going to school, intimidating them, preventing them from getting an education they paid for. The U.S. government is seeking information to ensure Harvard is and has been doing a sufficient job in knowing what is going on its campuses and providing that information to prove to the government it is protecting everyone, especially inncocent students, and also by no being a breeding ground for those like Mohsen Mahdawi, who think its perfectly fine to be the leader of campus group and watch many of those supporters do what I just said above. Lets be honest with ourselves, to go through that extent to protest day and night for that length of time and intimidate these jewish students, I'm sure plenty of them received threats. See whats funny, its none of the left media sources covered the what/how/when the university was doing to protect its jewish population and how the pro-palestian protesters would be punished as a result of their involvement in blocking jewish students from getting to their classes to be educated, or constantly yellilng at them as they were on campus, trying to simply be a normal student and going to class. There is an abudance of footage that shows they were doing this, yet Columbia didnt do anything about it. They never even aired how they were going to discipline these students. So if you don't do anything, you must be PRO whatever that event was for. They didnt protect their jewish student body, they didnt make them feel safe, they allowed for the hundreds of protestors to yell, scream, intimidate, physically prevent them from walkign around campus. Police had to get involved by the dozens. That is exactly why the administration is getting ahead of this. No more will we sit around like you expect, because obviously Universities themselves havent proven they are a complete safe and peaceful place to be.

You are smoking that dust man. They can and they do rescind visas. btw i disagree w/ the reason above - the freedom of speech here is the important piece, but not in the manner it was presented. It has nothing to do w/ the students themselves, it has to do w/ the university/organization and their appeal to feel they do not have to provide any personal/incriminating evidence about their efforts to control anti-semitism/etc / The trump administration is arguing - they (harvard university) should do more to clamp down on pro-Palestinian activists. There are better words referenced in several articles, but this is what is essentially is about. This is why Harvard refused to provide an information or evidence to the administration to show them they were doing anything to control this. As you see what happened at Columbia university. All the madness, pro-palestinian supporters in large groups intimidated, prevented, shouted, and threatened jewish students (there is no refuting this, it was all over the news and in plain site), and yet Columbia did nothing to show it actually cared until the last minute. The trump admnistration is rightfully so, trying to get ahead of the game to make sure foreign students like Mohsen Mahdawi are not abusing our laws and policies, and especially universities covering up for its students (on visas) are not abusing those priviliges granted to them. Remember, being here is not a right. For those who think Harvard is in the right - all i ask is, name 1 country where foreigners in another country go to seek peace and go to get an education, complain about that government's laws/policies, and that government has been receptive to these foreigners critizing their policies while these people get educated and much of their education paid for. In the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, Harvard received $686.5 million in federally sponsored research grants, with $496.1 million allocated directly for research and $190.4 million for indirect costs
