Matt L: There is the 1952 law empowering the Sec of State to remove noncitizens who support terrorist organizations, Hamas is a terrorist organization by US Government ruling, it is the governing party of The Gaza Strip and there is abundant evidence that Gaza civilians as well as Hamas participated in Oct 7 atrocities & indeed have been active in the ongoing imprisonment of the hostages (not sure if that is relevant to the argument (actually, I think it is, but besides the point)? The ‘protests’ have been shown by documented evidence to include criminal acts &/or law breaking. Either one is grounds for exclusion/expulsion, I don’t think it matters the latter whether the protesters were in support of Hamas, Hezbollah, PLO, Ukraine, Russia, Upper Slabovia, or the KC Chiefs. it’s the relationship to the illegal activities that are determinative,
That is my take on the matter at this point in time. I don’t know how that accords with Matt T’s take in his column & if I am in error in terms of the facts , logic or legalities, I will surrender.
I am having trouble getting my head around the cognitive dissonance, but that may just be my fatigue.
