My argument hinged more on the vigorous criticism from the judicial branch & legacy media against the Trump admin's immigration policy. I don't see a clear double-standard from Matt re: freedom of speech.

To answer your question on the Khalil matter, he's being accused of fraud in his green card application, as he failed to disclose his involvement with UNRWA, the United Nations agency for Palestine refugees; the British embassy in Beirut; and a group known as Columbia University Apartheid Divest. They're basically saying he misrepresented himself as someone who believed in America its culture and values, when he's a trouble-stirring Jew-hater who supports a terrorist group. Legally, I think they can deport him. But where do Hamas sympathies/ anti-Israel arguments shade into political subversion? If green card holders don't have full freedom, is there a clear line, since even the Trump admin admits they have speech protections? Every administration since Bush has invoked war-powers to prosecute subversives and justify warrantless surveillance. They've also been pretty indiscriminate on border security.
