Love the sentiment....but does non-citizenship remove right to free speech ?

I’m just asking, as he’ll catch hell for this as overstepping.

then, ask yourself if you went to England, Mexico, Canada, Spain, and promoted hate or violence, would you be deported ? Actually, probably yes.

I hope he gets away with it. 60 days to study sounds like a trial balloon.

On the other side of this debate....this should dispel charges Trump’s a jew-hater.

I don't think this will survive 1A scrutiny for deportation, but he may have other options.

Nope

There been laws on the books against terroristic threat for decades that have never once been overturned by the SC

Contrary to this rather common myth about the 1st Amendment, it does not give you the right to be immune for consequences of your speech. This is especially true for non citizens who are here based only on our grace

I think perhaps even if it doesn’t remove the right, it does go along way towards revealing the character of those that we graciously allow to study here, and if they are going to prove to be buttheads, and break our laws, then perhaps they should be denied the privilege

There are foreign anti-semites, maybe here on visas, who knows? They need to go. Americans, however much it is disliked, have the right to protest against Israel.

I’m not sure if I answered your question. No, non-citizens do not have that right.

I think that non-citizens should be able to say whatever they want and not face prosecution. That being said, it is perfectly within our rights and justifiable to send them home for being political agitators. To draw a comparison, you cannot go into someone else's house to argue and yell at them and expect to be able to stay.

>>”Love the sentiment....but does non-citizenship remove right to free speech ?”

Deporting someone who’s here on a temporary visa is not the same thing as throwing them in jail. Non-citizens are guests. When they stop behaving as such we should send them packing. We should have the right to throw them out if they participate in domestic protests - any protests. They don’t have the right to disrupt our society through public protest - civil or uncivil - unless and until they became citizens (or perhaps permanent residents). At least that’s my view.
