[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]American Association of University Professors v. Rubio (D. Mass.)

Has survived the government's motion to dismiss related to the 1st amendment (5th amendment claims are dismissed). This relates directly to the actions taken against foreign students and academics who have voiced pro-Palestine opinions. Contrary to what a lot of people seem to think, there are 1st amendment rights for non-citizens. Hard to grasp, I know.

Yes they have a right to voice their opinions. And as democrats loved spouting since 2016, using your right to free speech doesn’t absolve you of the consequences of that action. The government will not imprison anyone over speech, [b]but it can have a noncitizen’s visa revoked[/b].

No foreign national has an absolute right to be present in the US. [/quote]

Then don't ever say we are a great nation. If that's a natural consequence, we suck. Especially because you know very well it's not uniformly applied. [/quote]

DP.

Ridiculous. No nation on earth allows foreign visitors unfettered and unlimited rights to protest and otherwise disrupt society.

Doing so (a) raises obvious national security concerns and (b) interferes with our (Americans’) ability to govern ourselves.

Should devout foreign students visiting the US be allowed to protest against gay rights and call for violence against LGBTQ people?

Should Russian tourists be allowed to protest against US support for Ukraine?

I don’t think so.[/quote]
Democrat here. I think all these people should be able to protest those things. Everyone here gets 1st amendment rights.[/quote]

PP here. Appreciate your answer but disagree. Foreign visitors are just that—visitors—and government should have the right to deport under some circumstances.
