Sen. Tom Cotton , R-Ark., said Tuesday that the students taking over college campuses across the country — Columbia University, most acutely — are "fanatical" and "deeply troubled" but "easily detained" nonetheless, adding that university administrators need to respond, regain control, and "restore law and order.
"Look, these are not criminal masterminds. They're not paramilitary militants," Cotton added. "They are deeply troubled and fanatical students who can be easily detained and removed from these so-called encampments, or from seizing the building. That should have been done long ago.""These are not just spontaneous student uprisings, Hugh. I mean, just look at the pictures. They're out there in tents that cost hundreds of dollars apiece," Cotton said.
"They have no right to be in this country. Their visas should be revoked immediately, and they should be told to go home. And if they don't go home, they should be deported immediately," Cotton said. Cotton doesn't expect President Joe Biden's Justice Department to do that, but he knows a president who would.
