“Madam President, I want to read here, briefly, from the law of the United States of America. This is the existing law; I am not trying to pass a law today. And it says: section 212(a)3(B), subsection--I am not going to read the whole number. The law of the United States Immigration and Nationality Act mandates that you are ineligible to enter into the United States if you endorse or espouse terrorist activity or persuade others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization. What that basically means is, if you are a supporter of a terrorist group or you encourage others to support the actions of a terrorist group--a designated terrorist group--the statute defines what that is, you are not supposed to get a visa. And so it is reasonable to conclude that if you are already in the country--understand what I am talking about, I am not talking about American citizens; I am talking about someone who is a foreign national and that person is in the United States on a visa and that person is out there defending or encouraging others to defend and take the side of a terrorist organization, like, for example, Hamas or maybe Hezbollah or somebody else--if they are not supposed to have a visa to come into the country, once they are already here, if they do that, they should lose that visa. That is applying existing law.…”
