Some US embassies in Europe post warnings to would-be visa seekers: Watch your step

Some U.S. embassies in European nations are taking to social media with pointed warnings to would-be visitors: Watch your step.

Embassies in at least 17 countries have put up posts featuring images of administration figures, including President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, warning those seeking visas that engaging in behavior deemed harmful by the government could get deported.

In a post put up by the U.S. Embassy in Tallinn, Estonia, the message reads: “When you apply to enter the United States and you get a visa, you are a guest. Now, if you are in this country to promote Hamas, to promote terrorist organizations, to participate in vandalism, to participate in acts of rebellion and riots on campus, we never would have let you in if we had known that. You lied to us. You’re out.”

Another post put up by the U.S. Embassy in Budapest has a quote from Rubio, saying, “We don’t want people in our country that are going to be committing crimes and undermining our national security or the public safety.”

3. Rubio:

“We don’t want people in our country that are going to be committing crimes and undermining our national security or the public safety.”… we are doing fine with that all on our own.

4. The language is so appallingly offensive, rude, and boorish.
