Part 3/7:
State officials have communicated a firm stance on maintaining control over who enters the United States and for what purpose. Drawing upon regulatory frameworks, such as a law established during the Cold War, officials assert their authority to deny entry to individuals whose actions contradict U.S. foreign policy or undermine national interests. For instance, Marco Rubio, a prominent political figure, articulated the government's position that students who intend to participate in disruptive activities under the guise of education will be met with strict consequences, including visa revocation.
