He is the ringleader of that gang of jugheads at Columbia.

Mahmoud is a terrorist, rabble-rouser, anathema to everything cherished by the Western world, Christianity and Judaism.
He is a professional seditionist and supporter of murder.
He should be sent to Yemen and live with the Houthis and their sexy sheep.
I would personally hang the SOB.
Are you so sure?
I realize it’s the globolefty Guardian but they cited several legal scholars and stated
“Courts have generally found that non-citizens such as Khalil, a legal permanent resident, have the same first amendment protections that citizens do. The question in Khalil’s case is how far those protections extend against a determination by the secretary of state that a foreign national should be deported.”

Now maybe the first sentence quited there is correct, and maybe it’s not. We will find out through the courts, I guess.
If this sentence is correct, I have serious reservations:
“After his arrest, immigration officials said they were seeking to deport him under a provision of federal law that gives the US secretary of state, currently Marco Rubio, the power to deport someone if their presence in the country is deemed to “have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States”.
What “serious adverse foreign policy consequences”? Netanyahu’s nose a bit out of joint?
What if an American serviceman met and married a nice German lass while stationed in Germany and brought her home to The States? And she was then imprisoned by the Obama administration for protesting against the prolonged war in Afghanistan? Or by the Biden administration for protesting against our sending billions to Ukraine? Same principle, but how would we feel about that?
it’s a slippery slope. I am leery of it.
He’s the world’s new “Hitler”. His goal is to exterminate the Jews.
I am not implying that he did those things, I am asking you if you would approve of a visa, or revoke one, in a certain hypothetical scenario. The purpose is to draw a distinction between the right to free speech and the privilege of a visa (or a green card).
Again, the person in question holds a permanent resident card, not a mere visa. He apparently qualified for a green card after marrying an American citizen.
He originally came here with a student visa in 2022. He would have had no cause to want to come here to do such things because the pro-Palestinian protests were not yet a thing back in 2022.
You are trying to get me to argue ridiculous hypothetical questions. Such endeavors are a waste of time. We might as well argue the classic “what would chairs look like if our knees bent the other way like flamingos?” I prefer to stick to the real world and facts of the case.
What if a Libyan came here on a student visa before terrorists started hostilities there? And then, after we started bombing his country on behalf of the terrorists he protested the bombing? And the Obama administration imprisoned him for protesting even though he held a green card after marrying a citizen? That’s closer to the case in question.
It seems to me they chose a strange hill to defend. It would have been much easier and less controversial to simply decline to renew student visas in cases where students had been real troublemakers.
Students who have committed property crimes (defaced buildings, etc.) deserve to be charged with those crimes. If a student ran around terrorizing Jewish students, same. And send them packing. These are crimes. There are laws on the books against defacing property and making terroristic threats. And the laws should be applied.
If Khalil broke any laws, then let him be charged with those crimes. I have yet to see any reports he has been charged with actual crimes. I have seen reports that he has not been charged with any crimes.
I guess we’ll see what happens.
It’s not up to me to substantiate someone else’s claim. It’s up to that person. Have a nice day.
THEY ARE GAINING ACCESS TO THE USA USING “EDUCATION” AS A COVER STORY.
NOTHING is ALL...NOTHING! But they ELECTED them!
