Why would any country allow that?<\/p>\n<p>We gave you a visa to study and earn a degree\u2014not to become a social activist tearing up our campuses. If you use your visa to do that, we\u2019ll take it away. And I encourage every country to do the same.<\/p>\n<p>Every country has the right to decide who enters as a visitor. If you invite me to your house for dinner and I start putting mud on your couch and spray-painting your kitchen, you\u2019re going to kick me out. We\u2019ll do the same if you come to the U.S. and cause a ruckus.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t want that here.
