Last night, President Trump laid out his belief China interfered in the 2020 election.
TRUMP: "Starting during the 2020 election cycle, China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history."pic.twitter.com/9JC9hlNBiz

In response, Governor DeSantis of Florida has a bold proposal.
Time to yank CCP student visas, which are hundreds of thousands a year. https://t.co/9E8JkkGxna

Oop! That will leave a mark.
Basically every year the FBI quietly issues a memorandum that says: "Yeah, hey, so there's this Chinese exchange student/graduate assistant who's been doing classified research at a major American university for the past five years, and um, yeah we just caught him at Boston… https://t.co/eZCW240usi

It happens over and over again. It's time to actually address the issue, our universities are being used as a front to spy on our country.
I reiterate: the U.S.’s default position should be “All Chinese people who enter the U.S. are to be considered spies until proven otherwise. All those who have lived in China for any period of time should be considered potential spies.”

It's sad to say, but protecting the homeland must be priority number one.
Any University’s Chinese student group endorsed by a Chinese consulate is basically a recruitment drive for spies. It’s always about outreach and building bridges and also snapping a photo of that instrument landing system at that airport for us real quick if you got the time no…

America can't be more worried about 'offending' people than protecting our intelligence.
Don’t forget about the military ones. Everyone thinks the Mexicans are the only ones exploiting birthright citizenship. Chinese have 3 options. Come here for college/work, do spying. Come for military time, do spying. Come for gov job, do cover for birth citizenship & do spying.

Maybe we need to pause all the Chinese 'guests' until we can figure out what is going on.
Could not agree more @GovRonDeSantis https://t.co/jt5lUXBBkV

Every Chinese visa must be revoked.

We need a new Chinese Exclusion Act.
They all have to go back. https://t.co/BTxhVM7dPV
the fact we let them in at all is a mystery to me.

Each one is a defacto spy for the CCP. They generally force students to spy, by threatening them or their families. https://t.co/ERvFQ2s6Yh
Nice family you have there. Would be a shame if we imprisoned them all because you didn't bring back American intelligence.

You’re absolutely right @RonDeSantis - it’s why I introduced the Stop CCP VISAs Act.
— Senator Ashley Moody (@SenAshleyMoody) July 17, 2026
It would directly address this problem. https://t.co/6uOnj3AeuR
Trum didn't say that he would do this either but he should 👇 https://t.co/qxSVbAdkTB

Immediately.
Yank visas, shut down the borders, deport millions of illegals.
