Secretary Rubio is right to deport Mahmoud Khalil

In recent days, the Trump administration commenced its policy to rid our campuses of promoters of genocidal Jew hatred, jihadism and anti Americanism, with its effort to cut government funding on such campuses and deport non citizen agitators, first among them is Columbia grad Mahmoud Khalil, predictably and outrageously, his has become a cause celeb of the left, which is apparently perfectly happy to defend a lead negotiator for a group that, according to the Trump administration, organized protests that not only disrupted college campus classes and harassed Jewish American students and made them feel unsafe on their own college campus, but also distributed pro Hamas propaganda flyers with the logo of Hamas Columbia University apartheid divest a node in the BDS movement that is not only rooted in Jew hatred, but aimed at Israel’s destruction, has called for the total eradication of Western civilization while supporting a whole slew of terroristic and criminal acts. In addition to being the umbrella group under which dozens of Columbia organizations wreaked havoc, to Hamas’ delight after October 7, Kalil was a lead negotiator on behalf of that group with the Colombia administration. The left claims their defense of Khalil is rooted in a principled commitment to free speech, but set aside for a moment that the speech here is arguably again calling for terrorist incitement, promoting jihadist propaganda, and in furtherance of an arguably directed by those who are sworn enemies of America. On top of the fact the Columbia riots associated with this group led to the violation of the rights of citizens, Acts, well, it’s also set aside that we don’t have the whole record that the federal government has on this man’s words, deeds and ties. The simple fact is that no foreign citizen has an inalienable right to come to America a privilege, and certainly not to propagandize in service of movement aimed to the destruction of America, our people and institutions, or far worse, once here, coming to America is a privilege, and with that privilege come responsibilities like being a good visitor, the federal government has substantial latitude to kick out those farmers who do not comport themselves accordingly. All one need to do is look at the Immigration and Nationality Act’s provisions on what constitutes an inadmissible alien. Here are just a few classes of people. The US government may deport those who are associated with a terrorist organization and intend while in the United States to engage solely, principally or incidentally in activities that could endanger the welfare, safety or security of the United States, those who relevant government officials reasonably believe are here to engage solely, principally or incidentally in any unlawful activity or any activity a purpose of which is the opposition to or the control or overthrow of the government of the United States by force, violence or other unlawful means. Those who endorse or espouse terrorist activity or persuade others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization, those who officials determine have been associated with a terrorist organization and intends, while in the United States, to engage solely, principally or incidentally, in activities that can endanger the welfare, safety or security of the United States. And last but not least, those whose entry or proposed activities in the United States the Secretary of State has reasonable ground to believe would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States. And lo and behold, Khalil was charged as being removable under the INA on this very ground of threatening detrimental foreign policy consequences for our nation. Let’s point out some additional hypocrisy here. The very Democrats aflame over the purported violation of the First Amendment rights of a non citizen affiliated with the most anti American of causes supported the imposition of a Fed, led censorship regime over American citizens and over their explicitly protected political speech via the censorship industrial complex. They were, of course, Mama on January Sixers, when judges and trials punished defendants over their protected political speech regarding election integrity and outcomes, many cheered on and wanted the Biden administration to go further, as it imposed a sanctions regime on Jews in Israel, not only subjecting citizens of our ally to halted visas, but wrecked lives if they oppose the administration’s policies with respect to the Palestinian Arabs, that is for their speech, and not speech in furtherance of our destruction or benefiting foreign terrorist organizations like Hamas, which has the blood of Americans on its hands. If the left’s view were to prevail regarding deporting non citizen Hamas next, then the Constitution is a suicide pact. I believe it is not. American citizens have a right to go about their lives free of foreign agitators who work to poison our body politic and do us harm. Our leaders have a responsibility to use every authority they have, starting with their immigration powers, to ensure this does not happen. What the Trump administration is seeking to do here is legal. It is right, and it is imperative i.
