They have the right of free speech. We have the right to deport for what they say.

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.


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


It’s common sense.

No one is imprisoning you, depriving you of life or property etc. You are simply being removed back to your own country. Justifiably.

No it’s not. What about “Congress shall make no law” do you people not understand? I find it very hard to believe you all are as stupid as you are pretending to be.


Your certitude is unwarranted. Not at all clear the extent to which 1st Amendment applies.

Don’t believe me? Perhaps you’ll find the Harvard Law Review more persuasive:

Apparently you didn't read the article or you weren't persuaded, because it argues AGAINST gradations of 1st amendment rights where aliens are concerned.


Yes it does. The reason the author makes that case is bc, contrary to many assertions here, it is not clear to what extent the 1st Amendment applies to aliens,

The author’s discussion of the law is excellent. Should be required reading for every poster who wants to opine on the subject.

Ultimately, no, I’m not persuaded by the author’s argument. But it is a good one.
