Israel vs Palestinians

@n_huffhines @utvolpj and any others who are focused on the constitutional rights of folks here on a guest visa.

I looked it up this morning. People here on a guest visa cannot buy or possess a firearm or ammunition. Are you in favor of them being able to? If the constitution applies to "all people" and not only citizens, why the discrepancy? If the right to bear arms doesn't apply, how sure are you the other BoR apply?

Let's take it down to probably the most basic Constitutional right:

Can You Vote if You Have a Green Card?

No, Green Card holders are not permitted to vote in federal, state, or most local elections in the United States. Voting rights are strictly reserved for U.S. citizens, and unauthorized voting by non-citizens is considered illegal. While some local jurisdictions have considered limited voting rights for non-citizens in certain elections, this is rare and does not apply to major elections. Attempting to vote as a Green Card holder can have serious legal consequences, including possible deportation or loss of Green Card status. It’s essential to fully understand the limits of voting laws as a Green Card holder to protect your residency status and comply with U.S. laws.


 
Leavitt talked about it, said she had the flyers on her desk. I’ll see if I can find the clip

And as of just a few days ago they’re saying he also withheld information about his involvement in the UNRWA which would also give legal reason to deport him
It actually would have prevented his initial entry/visa if I remember correctly; a small caveat since that too means he can be deported now, having learned it after the fact.

I think you're confused, you quoted a link to the pamphlet that you only posted the front cover of

I think this stuff shows the only thing govt can do for our rights is take them away. If you believe free speech or the right to defend yourself is only given to people born in a specific geography then rights are granted as a function of govt. I believe that's backwards to what the ff espoused (and basic logic)

When we're "spreading democracy" around the globe do we want others to have these rights? If so, why should they not have them within our borders?
 
The right to vote is explicitly for citizens in the Constitution/amendments, things like due process and freedom of speech aren't limited to citizens

Is occupying a building (trespassing) just another form of free speech and is that guaranteed for noncitizens?

What about holding a janitor hostage?

I get your point. But if there aren’t benefits to being a citizen, why even have citizenship? It is the same concept as a border. Certain things define nationhood. A country defines itself by what is NOT included just as much as what IS.
