(Patriot.Buzz) – Stepping up the fight against the deep anti-Israel sentiment championed by the left, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis called for the deportation of foreign students and the expulsion of American ones for their anti-Semitic protests at Yale University.
Watch the video below.
During a press conference about Everglades restoration at the Cox Science Center and Aquarium, DeSantis called the demonstrations at his alma mater disgraceful.
DeSantis revealed he was frustrated with universities’ lack of action to combat anti-Semitism and protect Jewish students.
He argued that such behavior creates a hostile environment that violates civil rights and criticized higher education institutions for not enforcing codes of conduct.
“If I were in charge, I would send the Justice Department after those universities, because this is unacceptable to have this type of of anti-semitism, where it’s not just bad speech, they’re really targeting Jewish students,” DeSantis stated.
He emphasized that enforcing consequences would alter student behavior drastically.
“I think the students if they’re foreign students on visas, their visa should be canceled and they should be sent home. That should just happen,” he asserted. “Second, if it’s students, American students, and they’re violating code of conduct, you start expelling people — the behavior will change.”
DeSantis also criticized Joe Biden for not speaking out against such acts and suggested that Biden has allowed incidents to happen without significant federal intervention.
“Right now, in higher education, particularly in those schools up there, the inmates run the asylum,” he added while highlighting the need for consequences to prevent further incidents.
“And so the students do this stuff, knowing there’s not gonna be any repercussions. The minute there’s repercussions, you will start to see a change in behavior,” he said.
He further added, “And so I think what’s going on up there, it’s disgraceful, but I think Biden has been very weak in basically allowing that to happen without getting the Department of Education and Department of Justice involved, which I would have done.”
The Biden Justice and Education Departments are asleep at the wheel regarding antisemitism on college campuses. Both agencies should hold these universities accountable, and the visa of any foreign student who is championing Hamas should be canceled. pic.twitter.com/sUErXnBACu
