Jim Marter, Republican for Congress (IL-14) calls for terror-supporting, non-citizen college students to be deported

OSWEGO, IL, May 15, 2024 — Jim Marter, Republican Nominee for Congress in Illinois’ 14th District, issued a statement about the college campus protestors who are waving Hamas and Hezbollah flags and chanting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.”

“Any non-citizen college students supporting terrorism and committing crimes in support of a terrorist organization, should be thrown out of our universities and deported immediately,” said Marter.

“Additionally, any non-citizens engaging in harassing and threatening behavior to further political causes, need to be put on the terror watch list.”

News reports have confirmed that people on the terror watch list are crossing our southern border. It’s reasonable to assume they would find a fertile ground for recruitment among the radical crowds at these campus protests. This poses a heightened threat to students, our society and our nation as a whole.

“My priority is to protect Americans from foreign and domestic terrorists. My terrorism-denying opponent, Lauren Underwood has remained silent on this issue."

  She also is silent as the Biden Administration continues to persecute ordinary American citizens who do not pose any threat at all,” said Marter, referencing a Newsweek article from September describing how Biden’s Justice Department Unjustly Persecutes Pro-Life Activists.

While ‘Free Palestine’ may be free speech, "death to America" and "from the river to the sea" are specific threats. We can’t let our college campuses become centers for home-grown terrorism and places where terror cells can thrive unhindered or protected.

Last month, Lauren Underwood and the other Squad Members including AOC, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib refused to vote for a resolution declaring the ‘River to the Sea’ slogan as anti-Semitic.

The slogan literally means to kill all the Jews!

This type of extremism must be purged from Congress and that’s one of the core missions of my campaign.

In November and sooner for early voters, Republicans, Independents and Democrats of good will, have a choice, to vote for the status quo growth of unchecked anti-Semitism and terrorism, or a pro-peace, pro-prosperity vision for our future.

Which future for America will we see? Underwood and the Squad's or Yours and Mine?
