With so much in common, I can see why you like him so much and want him to stay.

My wife on the other hand, loves America, hates the China government, works hard and would be a lifetime GOP vote were she ever to attain US citizenship, so I can see why you'd not want her around.

 

Khalid didn't break any laws.  He just said something that the president disagrees with.  If another president came to power and disagreed with something your wife said I'm sure you would not want her deported.

You see the conundrum you're in?

By "said something," you mean "organized events to harass and terrorize the Jewish community at Columbia"?  I mean, I can see how those are the same, if you are a gaslit Leftie.

I'm not in a conundrum. Lots of legal immigrants come to the country peaceably every day. My wife isn't an America hating sh*tbag and she actively doesn't support terrorists. If she did, she would deserve to be deported because the law squistion posted recently, either earlier in this thread or another, authorizes the Justice Department or Secretary of State can deport people who are a danger to the country. 

We have enough America hating people in the country, we don't need to import anybody else's sh*t human beings. Its a privilege to come in that clearly should never have been granted and is now being removed.

I thought you KNEW the law?  On a VISA you don't have to break the same laws citizens do.  Here is an Ivy League law professor explaining it for you (bolding mine):

Quote

 

Because when you come here on a visa, and if you eventually obtain a green card, you’re not a citizen. You don’t have the full rights that we have as citizens. And you come here on the condition that you comply with the immigration laws and the immigration laws do allow to deport people, even if they have not committed a crime. If he made some of the statements he made as a US citizen, you either prosecute him or you leave him alone. But when you come here on a visa and then a green card, there are provisions in the immigration laws that allow for your removal.

So it’s not that you have no free speech rights, but you have rights that are subject to the immigration laws that do not apply to US citizens.

If the government doesn't have to explain or give any sort of rationale as to why someone is "a danger to this country" then, theoretically, they can deport any immigrant they want for any reason, whether that person is here legally or not.

I didn't call him a terrorist, I said terrorizing.  "Terrorist" has a connotation of bombing stuff, etc.  But the etymology of the word is to inflict terror:

ter·ror·ize

/ˈterəˌrīz/

verb

 

1. create and maintain a state of extreme fear and distress in (someone); fill with terror.

   "he used his private army to terrorize the population"

    

   Also, I see that Strike and HT have explained to you that you don't have to be charged of a crime, despite what the Leftist media has fed you.  The organization he leads has called for death to Zionists and armed insurrection.  Do we need to wait for him and his organization to actually carry out their wishes before doing something?

Ok so someone that terrorizes isn't a terrorist.  Lol.

I also never said he needed to be charged with a crime to be deported.  Apparently he can be deported if the SOS says he's a danger.  Thats a very dangerous precedent and is something a dictatorship would do.

[The Real timschochet 6,574]

You guys may very well be right that the law allows him to be deported without actually committing a crime. I don’t know myself and I will leave it up to the courts to decide. 
However, if that is the law then I believe it’s a bad law and should be changed. I think it violates the principle of what this country should be about.

Having a Green card doesn't mean you're a citizen. The US Government doesn't need a reason to deport him.

A 30 year old Palestinian from Syria, so likely trained somewhat in terrorism, works for UNRWA which is a terrorist front, and comes to the US where he runs an organization which has created protests/riots which harass Jews, and which organization calls for the death of zionists and armed insurrection, is not a potential threat?  He's the same as some 18 year old freshman idiot yelling "from the river to the sea"?

As I have been saying all along:

https://abcnews.go.com/US/experts-palestinian-activist-mahmoud-khalil-deported-due-process/story?id=119756360

Experts say Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder, can't be deported without due process

[...]

Under the Immigration Nationality Act, which experts say is rarely invoked, the government can charge a green card holder as being deportable without being convicted of a crime if there are reasonable grounds to believe they engaged in certain criminal or terrorist activities.

But experts and immigration attorneys ABC News spoke with said the statute does not give the secretary of state the power to deport green card holders like Khalil without going through a procedure.

"The way the statute is constructed, it doesn't mean that Secretary Rubio can just say, 'Oh, I determined this, and therefore we're just going to deport you out of the country,'" said Greg Chen of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. "You would still need to go through a process."

After the federal government invokes the statute, individuals like Khalil are entitled to argue their case before an immigration judge. Khalil is set to appear before an immigration judge later this month in Louisiana.

"There are some due process and protective procedures that the person is entitled to," Chen said, "including being given a notice of the charges, and an opportunity to confront that evidence and to bring his or her own evidence in response."

Whole lot of assumptions here that you have absolutely no evidence for. “Likely trained in terrorism”? Given the fact that extremely few Palestinians, no matter how sympathetic they might be, have ever actually engaged in terrorism, it’s extremely UNLIKELY. UNRWA is hardly a “terrorist front”- that’s total bullsh!t. The rest of what you wrote is equally a stretch.

Detained anti-Israel protester Mahmoud Khalil seethed with hatred for the Jewish state, according to a former classmate who told The Post he was an “insidious” presence at Columbia University.

The female graduate student, who is Jewish, said she even dropped a class they took together last fall at the Ivy’s famed School of International and Public Affairs because he made her feel so “uncomfortable” — and her formal complaints to the college fell on deaf ears.

“It would almost be easier if he were some terrifying looking man who threatened to punch people in the face, but he wasn’t,” she said.

“He was very soft-spoken and careful with his words, which almost made him seem more insidious, because it was so intentional – he was never being hyperbolic, he was very clear. He was never joking.”

“You know, he wears polos,” she continued. “It’s not like you meet him and are scared that he’s going to beat you up. To me, it was scary how he was so clearly extreme and so unshakeable in his worldview, which is a very scary worldview, in my opinion.”

Khalil’s laptop especially freaked her out.

It strategically sported one sticker – a map of Israel and Palestine with the Jewish state completely blacked out as if it was wiped off the face of the Earth, she recalled.

“It was just so clear that the thing driving him most in life is destroying Israel and everyone within it and anyone who supports it, and probably all Jews … That to me was scary, that something could consume you like that,” the first-year student said.

Khalil, 30, also routinely boasted in class that he headed the Students for Justice in Palestine movement at Columbia and “didn’t love Jews.”

He was a frequent no-show to class, which centered on Israeli politics, the student recalled. And when he did attend lectures, he disrespectfully interrupted his professor, who is Israeli.

“Everything about Israel was illegitimate; everything about Zionism was illegitimate because, in his mind, it’s like a farce and a fallacy to think otherwise,” she said.

And Khalil routinely “targeted” Jewish students in a WhatsApp group chat the class shared, she added.

“Once or twice a week, he would just go in [the group chat] and basically instigate crazy claims that were just very antisemitic and really inflammatory, and would get into fights with people,” she said. 

Reading directly from the chat, she recounted, “One day a Jewish student had said, ‘I’m disturbed by the normalization of the insane amount of antisemitism spewed in this chat in the last few months. Disappointed and shameful.’ To that, Mahmoud said, ‘Thank you. This is exactly what some are trying to do so hard in this conversation: Conflate Judaism and Zionism, so it’s easier for them to shut down any criticism of the colonial, genocidal state of Israel.’

The student said it was such erratic behavior that drove her to drop the class — although she didn’t dare confront him.

“I just didn’t want to become a target of his,” she said.

The student, however, anonymously filed two Title VI complaints with Columbia administrators about his antisemitic rants within the group chat — but nothing ever came of them, she said.

Following the bloodshed and the start of the Israel-Hamas war, Khalil became a driving force behind many of the anti-Israel protests, organizing takeovers and building encampments that plagued Columbia for more than a year, and he is now the poster boy for President Donald Trump’s crackdown on antisemitic college protesters. 

Khalil was grabbed by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents March 8 at his Columbia-owned apartment building and later transferred to a detention facility in Louisiana, where he faces deportation.

The student said that after she learned the news of his detention it “literally felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders.”

“All week, I have felt safer on campus and like I have a pep in my step,” she said. “I used to feel so much anxiety, but I literally feel safer now.

“I really do think this country is probably safer without him here, like I don’t know how he got a green card,” she said. “He seems very much like he hates America and everything it stands for, and I think he’s done a lot to cause harm and violence here, and I could see him doing more.”

She also believes the university should have held Khalil accountable for his Jew-hating ways.

“There have been so many reports filed against him,” she claimed. “He was not in compliance with academic standards. They bent over backwards to not expel him, and I think if they would have followed their own rules, we would not be here now.”

Khalil — a Syrian-born Palestinian who is also a citizen of Algeria — fled to Lebanon at 18 after a civil war broke out in Syria to pursue an undergraduate degree in computer science at the Lebanese American University in Beirut.

Your statement about Palestinians is wishcasting.  I said trained in terrorism, not participated in actual terrorism in Gaza or Syria (another terrorist hellhole).  There are three types of Palestinians in Gaza:  Terrorists, terrorist sympathizers, and children under five.  Yes it is hyperbole, but it's closer than your fantasy. BTW, all of those "civilians" who held or are holding hostages... not terrorists?
