Border czar: "Free speech has limitations"

He has provided no evidence to support this claim.

Is illegally taking over a campus to advocate genocide against Jews illegal?

I know the Marxist talking points say he did nothing illegal, but when he led the illegal takeover of the quad, wasn't that illegal? If a group of Republicans did the same to support Trump the party press would call it "insurrection." democrats might agree with his goals of genocide of the Jews and the destruction of Israel, but isn't what he did illegal? A criminal act?
 
What rights have I advocated be removed from this visitor?

I suppose we can start with freedom speech, work our way through freedom of the press, being secure in his person from unreasonable seizure, habeas corpus, and lets just end the list with due process.


“And if there is any indication that he led the applauding of the October massacre by Hamas, out he goes.”

Does a non-citizen have the same rights as a citizen?

How about evidence that he instigated and led the illegal occupation of the quad at Columbia University?

Are people immune from the law if they promote democrat agenda items such as the destruction of Israel and genocide of the Jews?
 
Does a non-citizen have the same rights as a citizen?

Yes. Of course. The 1st, 4th, and 5th say “people,” not “people I approve of.”

Well … “person” in the 5th, I guess.

So "U.S. Citizen," like the southern border, is another thing the left has "wished away" and no longer exists.

Do you believe that the U.S. government has the right to deport any person who is here that is not a citizen?

Yes. Just like they have a right to detain, jail, and execute citizens.

Odd question. I may have missed some nuance.

Under what circumstances do you believe immigrants should be admitted to the country, and under what circumstances should that admission be conditional? In other words, what behavior or conduct should act as a rescinding of the invitation to visit or reside in this country, when one is not a citizen?

You want me to determine specific federal code or just broad outlines?

I am asking what you think is appropriate, not what the law says. The law is pretty clear, but you seem to object to it when it comes to Hamas supporters. So I was wondering if you hold that objection broadly, or just for those that would support Hamas and their actions on October 7.

I think it is inappropriate to arrest, hide, and deport permanent residents for lawful speech.
 
Except he doesn’t. His green card can be revoked and he can be deported under anti-terrorism statutes.
And what did he do that can be defined as terrorism?
 
Unless you're materially supporting a terrorist group, expressing support for one, no matter how stupid or misinformed, is a right protected by the First Amendment.

Plenty of Americans were open supporters of the IRA which are a terrorist group.
Why weren't they all binged in prison or deported?

Do you think if a permanent resident breaks the law here he may be deported?

Not sure that’s a 01 choice. Felony? After the sentence is carried out, yes. Jaywalking? No. That is absurd.

Ok. So we have a felony is a yes (but only have serving a sentence and taking up space and resources there) but jaywalking is a no. Anything in between? Breaking and entry? Trespass? Inciting others to violence? Supporting terrorist groups?

Any of those falling on the spectrum for you, or is it just the binary choices you gave?

Supporting a terrorist group is a felony.

Just cut to the chase and tell me what lawful speech you think is a deportable offense for permanent residents without due process. You’ve already mentioned criticism of Israel. What else?

No I haven't. If you are incapable of having an honest conversation on these things, I'd rather not waste my time. I realize that you believe Hamas' actions on October 7 were self defense and merely criticism of Israel, the State. I don't agree with you.

Speaking of dishonest …
 
Federal law specifically states one can be denied a Green Card for advocating for terrorist organizations. Do you think the law says something else?
If it's not material support, it's protected speech. If you're quoting the Espionage Act or some other obscure, constitutionally incompatible piece of legislation, by all means, enlighten me.
 
That this individual has actively supported and advocated for Hamas does not seem to be a question. He has.
I need to amend the above statement. I've done more reading on Khalil and there is some question whether he's supported Hamas to a degree that would justify him losing his Green Card. It's a muddier case than I first thought.
