>The administration wants to revoke visas for non-US citizens who come here under the pretense of education and instead advocate for terrorist groups.
1. You can get an education while advocating for causes
2. The letter doesn't only say advocating for a terrorist group.
"International Admissions Reform. By August 2025, the University must reform its recruitment, screening, and admissions of international students to prevent admitting students hostile to the American values and institutions inscribed in the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence, including students supportive of terrorism or anti-Semitism."
>Why is the US government expected to fund people who want to destroy the US government?
1. They aren't, Harvard does
2. Any federal grants aren't targeted to specific students so cutting them wouldnt
The US government gives money to people who want to destroy it all the time in terms of normal welfare, social security, etc for anti-gov US citizens.
>Should you be required to pay people who want to kill you?
No. How is that related to this? This is a vast oversimplification to try to catch me saying "no"
