“In China, the government can control education, high schools, colleges, universities. We thought that the USA could be different," one student said.
Chinese students say they’re questioning their decision to study in the U.S. after Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the federal government will attempt to “aggressively” revoke their visas.
Rubio said Wednesday that Chinese students “with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields” would be targeted.
Chinese students who spoke to NBC News on Thursday said that they came to the U.S. for freedoms they felt they did not have back in China but that now the Trump administration is starting to resemble the strict regime they left behind.
Um…
Nah.
No offense, but as an Asian American who was not born into this country and had to naturalize. I don’t exactly feel safe.
“Constitutional Protections” is not magic, is just people beliving in a set of practices, sort of like a religion. If people stop believing, “Constitution” is effectively dead.
Did you know, in People’s Republic of China, “Freedom of Expression” is in the constitution?
Well see how that turned out. Same is happening with the US.
The military is being purged of anyone who values the constitution over trump.
Of course, I hope the institutions of democracy survives. But its not guaranteed. I don’t exactly feel too optimistic. Perhaps if I was a white man born in the US, I’d feel safer. (no offense to white men btw)
