French space researcher denied entry to the US over messages about Trump, French minister says

How Putin of Trump.

 

So when does that get applied to the rest of us?

 

He’s burning America down to protect his fragile ego.

 

Any foreigner that insults Trump or upsets MAGA is subject to arrest and deportation if the SOS decides he wants to.

That's what some here feel is the law now.

No due process, no freedom of speech or expression for foreigners. Sec of State has sole discretion to arrest and deport any foreigner he deems dangerous. Who knew?

 

that is an untested interpretation of the law. it remains to be seen if the SOS does have unfettered discretion or if he has to provide just cause like the constitution says. Laws are written that are unconstitutional, Florida has been on a hell of a run in that regard. i trust the judge a hell of a lot more than my congressman. byron daniels would kill a baby if dt told him to

 

It’s utterly pathetic that we’d have to change the law due to having a pussy prez. You’d think a prez would want to uphold our values. Another slap in the face to patriots

 

what in my post gave you the impression I wanted to change that law?

 

Please explain to me the "serious adverse foreign policy consequences" of a French space researcher that doesn't like Trump being allowed in the country to attend a professional conference. Or the way in which it violates some Constitutional Provision, statute, ordinance, or regulation. Or the part where saying mean things about Trump is the same as domestic violence.

 

Oh, so your entire point is off topic (although it is interesting how much you all have learned to love unchecked power with no checks-and-balances). Now, would you like to justify why we shouldn't allow people to enter the country if they don't like the President?

 

Well, I assumed that you were speaking on topic. Was I wrong?

 

He doesn't live here. He was denied entry and expelled because he apparently texted somebody that he was opposed to Trump's policies. Is that a reason that we should be denying entry to somebody?

 

Since when is entrance to a country the same as invitation to a house? And yes, to answer your very dumb question. Had two over last month. Because, I don't screen my visitors by politics.

Regardless, you are justifying tools only used in authoritarian countries. Normal, non-authoritarian countries don't care if you like their President or his/her policies. I've been to countries that I thought the President was an idiot. I've been to countries where I liked the President. Guess what? Nobody cared in those countries because they were not authoritarian countries, where you are expected to genuflect to the dear leader. It seems like you might prefer those sorts of authoritarian countries, huh?
