Should Mahmoud Khalil be deported? No. but.

15. If he were a citizen, he should not be deported.

However, the whole citizenship process that culminates in citizenship is designed to weed out "weeds."

If Kahlil wasn't honest in the application process, my understanding is he loses his green card and can even be charged with the crime of perjury. So, if he gets due process and he wasn't honest in his application, I say throw him in jail for the perjury and then deport him after he serves his sentence.

This is separate from the charge by Rubio that Kahlil is an anti-Semite and harms U.S. foreign policy. I do think the SoS should be able to deport people who do that, and an immigration judge has currently ruled that. But let's see the due process play itself out.

Some Palestinian protests should, in my opinion, be protected as long as they are mere speech and signs, and as long as there is no incitement to crime or intimidation of the innocent. Anything that, for example, blocks students from getting to class, blocks traffic, creates undesired encampments on private property, etc., should result in the book being thrown at each and every perpetrator to the fullest extent of the law.

Also, with friends like the some of the charmless idiots I saw in these protests, the Palestinians don't need enemies. These protests hurt the Palestinian cause fairly clearly and hurt the Dems too. As speech it should be protected. Politically it was bad for Palestinians, bad for the Democratic Party (compounded by unforgiveable betrayal), and a boon to Trump, imo.
