While any day is a good day to remove third world genetic material from Western nations, Ann is correct about the First Amendment implications in this case. We must avoid any precedent that could be turned on U.S. citizens; and the summary arrest and removal of a lawful permanent resident on charges manufactured ex nihilo is an autocrat's dream. Shame if one of them does that to all of us.
Rights enumerated in US Constitution should only apply to American citizens. The rest should only enjoy conditional privileges. Any misbehavior by legal aliens, should result in immediate termination of privileges.
The reason college tuition rises faster than inflation is because the $1.7 trillion student loan fiasco has acted as a perverse incentive for colleges and universities to raise prices because there 's so much free money available for students. What's more, a couple of decades ago it was made illegal to extinguish student loans in bankruptcy which ironically has enslaved the underclass in debt, the very group it was intended to help. This is yet another example of the road to hell paved with good intentions brought to you by progressive democrats.
Pell grant fraud makes my blood boil. As a middle class kid from VA I attended collage using the VISA program. My well to friends took grants and I worked the graveyard shift. Another Gov program which needs updating.
Thank you Ann for 5 Stories This Week. Could not agree more with the college tuition mess. Personally, believe a thorough dissection of this “NIL” relationship to high schools, colleges and universities is necessary. This would be a very telling accounting of who needs and who wants monies to get into school. Grants, scholarships, and an NIL reporting would really be an eye opening account spoken through the NIL angle (NIL= Names, Images and Likeness) Out of control. I did not know about how the Pell Grants were founded on Social Class and SAT scores. To me, the discrimination hasn’t changed over time—just re-allocated. On color and race and worse off, buy ins. Recently, I heard Secretary Rubio had a spot on response to a reporter about hate and persons seeking US VISAS. I am encouraged by the peace keeping agenda of President Trump’s administration thus far. 🇺🇸
Ann how does the Bill of Rights apply to noncitizens? remember Even back in high school Civics we learned that noncitizens only have the right to due process and representation. Right now it feels like immigrate have more rights than CITIZENS.
There is a long list of things green card holders can be deported for- https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/grounds-deportability-when-legal-us-residents-can-be-removed.html I am sure they are going to find something to hang on this guy, we have seen this before in other circumstances (Jan 6 "parading" ring a bell?). I don't like the "show me the man, I will show you the crime" no matter who it is. I do not think speech, short of that which is likely to incite truly imminent violence should be a crime for citizens at a minimum. Citizenship is special for a reason "theoretically." Anyone else, I am not as sure it should be so absolute, but this guy was legally here apparently and people who otherwise complied with the law probably ought to expect free speech (but did he otherwise comply, I think there is a lot to unravel here, he came here in 2022 and got his green card by marrying a citizen in 2023 which is often one of the most sketchy ways to get a green card).
The thing that bothers me more is that our universities are filled with foreigners while the same people who advocate for this complain about the costs of higher education as Ann notes. To echo Ann, and I hate to sound like my dad, but "what the hell was this guy doing here in the first place?" My dad was NYPD and always seemed to have a good instinct for when "someone was up to no good" and I think he would have got that vibe from this guy. If they have any evidence he has given or received material support from Hamas, that probably is good enough under current law to boot him out. But check out that list- it is pretty expansive. Did he not file a change of address within ten days at some point? Did he obtain his green card under false pretenses (watch the movie Green Card). Good enough apparently...I won't lose sleep over it. It is not like they are droning him; they are just sending him back from whence he came. We are stuck with Ilhan Omar and Rashida Talib (and millions others), hopefully we are not stuck with him.
Normally, pretty much in c Ann on most of this. I'm not sure I agree on the Khalil opine. I am a free speech advocate but you cannot prevent Jewish students, or anyone else, from going to class. You cannot single individuals out on a quad. If "trespassing" is only determined by a complicit administration at the school then when would that get invoked? I also wonder at Ann's interpretation of incendiary language having to be IMMEDIATELY dangerous. Seems to be the difference between 1785 and now might be radio, TV etc. Whipping a crowd into a frenzy is not ok if you say " kill the Jews" I think Ann is saying. But saying it on Joe Rogan is ok? Good discussion. Totally agree c Ann about some of Rubio's and Trump's inclusive language about deporting "Hamas sympathizers" etc. --you'd have to deport 1/2 of Congress.
Concerning Hamas, one man's terrorist is the next man's freedom fighter. The example can be Europeanized with the IRA (Irish Republican Army). Such standard is terrifyingly malleable to Dear Leader's mood. I'd prefer the occasional rabble chanting kill Jews, Whitey, Darkey, etc. to government goon squads cracking down on wrong thoughts.
Just to clarify. Even citizens cannot stop me from attending class, burn or destroy my car, call Swat, call for the assassination of politicians or destroy public property and call it free speech.
Trump needs to be very careful regarding free speech and antisemitism. People and hate groups are allowed to hate. They cannot harrass or intimidate people though. A lot of what went on at Columbia and UCLA was harrassment but a lot was speech protected by the 1st Amendment. I also don't think we can allow someone to claim they feel unsafe by obnoxious but protected speech and claim that is harrassment.
I remember shortly after October 7th there was a video of a Middle Eastern man tearing down hostage posters of missing Israelis and Americans. A regular NYC guy angrily confronted him and stopped him. He said you can wave your Palestinian flag or chant death to Israel but you can't rip down the posters. Why does a regular NYer better understand the 1st Amendment than the professors at our leading universities and our politicians?

Now that is an idea that I could support. Where would we send those defenders of democracy? Canada?

I hope you had a good ski trip.

Nice justification on your tweet. Haha. We ate screwed then Miss Coulter.
Lot's of suggestions this week! How about this one - Trump appoints some bright spark to regulate the Jewish problem. That would be a good on. imho.
