The law in the immigration act to disallow people who espouse support for terrorism is a good one.
We protect freedom of speech for citizens because we have to. They are part of our country.
I don’t believe this extends to foreigners. We should allow only immigrants who do not support terrorism and want to be productive members of society. This isn’t too much to ask.
This is not a right or left issue. This is a pro-America vs con-America issue.
"Congress shall make no law" is not unclear, nor is the idea from the declaration that " all men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights". There is no spot in the founding philosophy of this nation that makes a home for "rights of citizens" only, and there was copious space to fill that in if they wanted. You made that shit up.
What you're doing is scriptural prestidigitation. It's the equivalent of christians deciding that Satan and the serpent in the garden are the same entity, even though it's very clear that they aren't[1]. You're doing it because it makes your world view seem like less of an incoherent mess, not because it's true.
Define “terrorism.”
The administration, for example, freely uses the word to describe someone with no criminal record and no proven gang affiliations: https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3lmrwrrkbnf2e
They also use the word to describe Tesla vandals: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/03/25/us/fbi-task-force-tesla-a...
The US government has determined that the individual belonged to a gang. Also, the government of El Salvador confirmed this.
The fact that the lawyer for the person says "there's no evidence" doesn't mean there actually isn't any evidence. It just hasn't been revealed.
I believe that setting Teslas on fire is domestic terrorism. They were politically motivated to specifically target a political figure to intimidate other citizens. I think setting ballot boxes on fire is also domestic terrorism.
> The US government has determined that the individual belonged to a gang.
The executive branch has made that allegation. The person didn't have a trial in the judicial branch.
Please look up "habeas corpus", and Article 1 Section 9 Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution.

This is the law department. Religion is down the hall and around the corner.
Assumption: everything critical of Israel’s actions in Gaza is supporting terrorism. That’s quite the take.
The evidence presented to the judge that allowed the deportation was that he specifically supported Hamas. He wasn't just pro-Palestinian. This is why he is being deported.
