I can't believe I'm going to say this but if you go over to reason.com and look at reporting on the visa stuff, there are a loooot of arguments going on in the comments. We're not even talking free speech absolutionists! Just like "normal"[0] conservatives being like "this is actually kind of messed up what's going on to these visa holders".

Plenty of people happy to carry water for the admin as well. I just don't really have a great view of what people actually think about this issue.

[0]: to be clear, I do not believe there are normal people on that website.
