look at it from the other side

Don’t you think that being allowed into a country no matter what your beliefs are is wrong?

What if there was a group of immigrants who cheered for the KKK and Dylan Roof in college campuses, hanging nooses and harassing African Americans.

Do we need to keep them too?

nostr:npub1n0sxxgvsm4hk0utv9russrtj2p08j0wxddk0jasjtd9aulrcz78slkce54 the US legal system is very clear that immigrants and people on temporary visas have constitutional rights to free speech, political association, equal protection under the law, and due process. I think those things which are important parts of the American system are really good and should be defended.

Do I want immigrants supporting Dylan Roof or the KKK? No, but I do want a society that protects free speech. Just like I build on Nostr because I believe in building an internet where people can say things I don’t like or want to hear. I’m very confused to find people who advocate for censorship and authoritarianism on a platform like Nostr.

Turns out we don’t need to go by what any one person “wants” because the law actually allows for deportation in the case of visa holders who support US-designated terror groups

If someone states their support for a terror org on their visa application it can and should get denied (non-admittance). If someone starts supporting the KKK after they arrive, they can and should be deported (revocation).

It’s actually a smart solution if you think about it. Why would we import KKK en masse? What on earth for? To what end?
