[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at Form I-485. If he knowling lied on that form, he obtained his green card fraudulently. [/quote]

And if didn’t? He clearly was arrested for his political views which is a violation of the First Amendment and should make everyone very nervous.

Today Trump tweeted it was illegal to boycott Tesla— are people who protest at Tesla dealers the next to be arrested?[/quote]

Views or activities? If it's the latter, that is subject to review by immigration officials to obtain a green card.[/quote]

It seems pretty clear that the organization he spoke for (CUAD) calls for violence in Palestine as a form of resistance, even the nyt reported that:

Is that still covered free speech for a non-citizen?  I’m not entirely sure…I think a good analogy would be IRA members in the US.  Most Sinn Fein leaders were barred from travel to the US due to their history of IRA activity. I’m not sure we want to be a country that offers safe harbor to immigrants who want to use the US as a base from which to advocate to violence or wage war abroad.  That is a big can of worms.  And I do think Columbia University should  have kicked out these students as soon as they began supporting violence.

I’m no fan of the trump admin and I think the retaliation against the law firms is a scary precedent.  But I don’t see this action in quite the same light. [/quote]
