[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want to see how arbitrary the deportations of foreign students in this country can be, read this story of a PhD student from Japan who goes to BYU. His student visa was revoked due to a fishing license violation, which was dismissed by a judge. The student is a Mormon to boot, not a group exactly known for political rabble rousing or poor behavior.

“[His lawyer] told the Deseret News that his client went on a 2019 fishing activity with his Latter-day Saint ward. “He didn’t catch a fish — but because he was the organizer or the face of the activity, (Onda) was cited for harvesting more than their license permitted.”
Onda went to court, the attorney added, “but the prosecutor was like, ‘Yeah, we’re dismissing this’ — and it was dismissed.

When I travel to foreign countries I obey ALL laws, even the ones I don't agree with.  Foreigners here should do the same or not come.  I won't even spit on the sidewalk in Singapore. So as dumb as his citation was, he was wrong.[/quote]

There is no law in the U.S. that prohibits criticism of a foreign nation.

Also, the suggestion that there should be such a law is an abomination.[/quote]

This makes no sense.  Can you read?[/quote]
