<p style="font-weight: 400;">On Wednesday, the same day pro-Hamas extremists tore down and burned American flags in Washington, D.C. while chanting &#8220;Allahu Akbar&#8221; and waving Hamas terrorist flags, Arkansas GOP Sen. Tom Cotton introduced a bill that would terminate any visa and require deportation within 60 days of any non-citizen convicted of a criminal offense during a protest.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Senators Ted Budd (R-NC) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) co-sponsored the legislation titled the “No Visas for Violent Criminals Act.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The Biden administration’s inaction against pro-Hamas mobs has only emboldened these extremists. Our legislation makes clear that a green card does not give individuals the right to break our laws in support of anti-Semitic views,” Sen. Cotton <a href="https://www.cotton.senate.gov/news/press-releases/cotton-colleagues-introduce-bill-to-sanction-non-citizens-convicted-of-crimeswhile-protesting">stated</a>.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The bill states:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Any alien who is convicted of a crime related to the alien’s conduct at and during the course of a protest that occurs at an institution of higher education or at a facility in the United States operated by a religious institution; involving the defacement, vandalism, or destruction of a Federal memorial or monument, including any veterans memorial &#8230; involving the intentional obstruction of any highway, road, bridge, or tunnel, is deportable.</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>If any alien is convicted of a deportable crime described in section 237(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act &#8230; any visa issued to such alien shall immediately be cancelled; and not later than 60 days after such conviction, such alien shall be removed from the United States.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On Wednesday, the extremists were protesting in response to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu giving a speech before the U.S. Congress. Much of the chaos unfolded at Union Station, where the extremists tore down three American flags and replaced them with Palestinian flags.</p>
<p>The extremists vandalized the Christopher Columbus Memorial Fountain with graffiti that said, &#8220;Hamas Is Coming&#8221; and &#8220;Zionists Go To Hell.&#8221;</p>
<p>Some of the extremists also carried Hamas flags or other flags that appeared to be linked to Islamic extremism, wore Hamas headbands, and carried pro-Nazi signs that spoke about Islam&#8217;s &#8220;Final Solution&#8221; for the Jewish State.</p>
