[quote=Anonymous][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, but it can have a noncitizen’s visa revoked.

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

This is correct.  [b]If your exercise of Free Speech violates one of the conditions of your visa or permanent residency status, those can be revoked.[/b][/quote]

Where does it say in visa or permanent status regulations that exercising free speech is a basis on which to revoke that status? Please link to that language. Thank you.[/quote]

The Immigration and Nationality Act allows the denial or revocation of a visa of ‘any alien who . . . endorses or espouses terrorist activity or persuades others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization."[/quote]

Come on. The real line should be

“ any alien who . . . endorses or espouses terrorist activity THAT THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION DEEMS TO BE OUR ENEMY or persuades others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization THAT THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION DEEMS TO BE OUR ENEMY“

Nicaraguan contras?
Mujahideen in Afghanistan?
Taliban? 
These are all terrorist organizations that the U.S., at one point, supported.

Trump has done a 180 with his treatment of Ukraine and I honestly would not be surprised if he started to accuse Zelenskyy of being an anti-Semite and a nazi, like his hero, Putin. What then? Do we revoke visas and deport all non citizens who have a history of sympathy for Ukraine?

What if we get elect a president who doesn’t believe in Zionism? Do we get rid of everyone who espoused pro-Israel views?

If we don’t protect free speech, we are sunk. [/quote]

DP. Free speech for citizens, absolutely.

Limits on speech for foreign agitators. Absolutely.
