Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has strongly condemned the Democratic Party’s disturbing support for Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Hamas activist who was recently arrested by federal authorities and now faces deportation. Cruz called out Democrats for aligning with radical elements, making it clear that America has no place for foreign nationals who promote terrorist ideologies.
Cruz: Foreign Nationals Have No Right to Undermine America
Speaking on his “Verdict” podcast, Cruz emphasized that while American citizens are protected by the First Amendment, foreign nationals do not have the same rights—especially if they actively work against the country that has granted them entry.
“A visa to come to this country as a student… is a permissive decision. You do not have a right, if you are a guest in this country, to actively undermine America.”
Cruz made it clear that anyone who threatens other students, promotes anti-American propaganda, or embraces terrorist organizations like Hamas should be expelled and deported immediately.
Democrats: The Party of Hamas?
Cruz did not hold back in criticizing Democrats who have aligned themselves with pro-Hamas protesters, labeling them as the party of radicals who have abandoned America’s interests.
“They are the party of Hamas… the party of the radicals.”
While Republicans stand firmly against terrorism and extremism, Democrats continue to coddle those who openly support organizations that call for violence against America’s allies.
The Battle Over National Security and Free Speech
Khalil’s arrest has ignited a major debate over the balance between national security and so-called “free speech” for foreign nationals. While the radical left claims his arrest is an attack on civil liberties, the reality is far different—Khalil wasn’t just speaking out, he was actively promoting and defending Hamas, a recognized terrorist organization.
This incident exposes a major divide in American politics:
- Republicans are focused on national security, protecting Americans, and keeping terrorists out.
- Democrats continue to make excuses for those who support anti-American and anti-Israel extremism.
Cruz and Trump Stand for Law and Order
Cruz’s fiery remarks are part of a broader conservative push to ensure that America does not become a breeding ground for foreign radicals. Under President Donald Trump’s administration, the U.S. has taken a hard stance against pro-Hamas extremists, sending a clear message:
- Foreign nationals who threaten America will be deported.
- Universities will no longer be safe havens for anti-American radicals.
- Democrats who defend pro-terrorist activists will be held accountable at the ballot box.
With Trump and Cruz leading the fight, America will not bow to radical leftist pressure. The days of weak leadership and appeasement of extremists are over—and the American people are ready to take their country back.
American citizens are protected by the First Amendment.
Mahmoud Khalil is not a citizen. He is a guest in this country, and he has no right to actively undermine America or spread hate and violence here.
