This Mahmoud Khalil story is important. He's the former Columbia University graduate student arrested by ICE and facing deportation.  President Trump said, "We gotta get him out of here."

 

If you believe the corrupt leftist media, Khalil is a legitimate pro-Palestinian protester, a man of conscience just speaking out against injustice.  And he has that right. Khalil holds a green card and is in New York City legally.  His wife is about to give birth.

 

But even a casual scanning of the man's public activities shows he is an agitator, a person comfortable with a bullhorn calling for "divestment" from Israel. That is legal speech in America. However, there's more to this story.

 

Receiving credentials to work or study in the USA is a privilege, not a right, and that privilege can be withdrawn if a foreign national indulges in questionable behavior as Mahmoud Khalil certainly did.  He was smack in the middle of damaging protests at Columbia, trusty bullhorn in his hand.

 

Nevertheless, I believe Khalil should get due process, a fair hearing in front of an immigration judge.  Cases like this one should be decided by evidence.  That separates America from Hamas-controlled Gaza.

 

Doesn't it, Khalil?

 

See you this evening for the No Spin News.
