        Green card holder =/= citizen. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 9:52pm 3/11/25
- Seems he broke U.S. code, though - MarkHarman - 8:45am 3/11/25

- I do not agree with what he has said, but I will defend to the death his right to say it - Chris94 - 11:21pm 3/10/25

        Conflicts with 1A my man. [NT] - Frank L - 9:51pm 3/10/25
        If he were a citizen, of course. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 1:13pm 3/11/25
        Not just limited to citizens. [NT] - Frank L - 4:11pm 3/11/25
        The event he led caused Columbia to tell its students it wasn't safe to come to classes. - NedoftheHill - 6:23pm 3/11/25
        This has nothing to do with free speech. - PaND - 6:41pm 3/11/25

        If he were calling for killing blacks, you'd silence him. But, he's just calling for killing Jews. - NedoftheHill - 9:38pm 3/10/25

        I won't get upset at deporting non-citizen nazis. Would you? - NedoftheHill - 1:36pm 3/11/25
