Under a new bill being proposed by Sen Marsha Blackburn will have pro-Hamas protesters placed on the No-Fly list and student visas revoked.

I approve 100%!

The bill is appropriately called:

No Flights for Terrorists Act

What happens when the dems claim MAGA is a terrorist group? Will Republican supporters be on no fly list?

Save the list for threats. Not protesters.

I swear the GOP is full of morons just like the Dems.

Yeah so let's pass a law that criminalizes speech. Give me a break

Yea, this falls squarely into the "this will totally not backfire spectacularly and eventually be used on people that you happen to agree with" category of government overreach.

I fully support the revoking visas part. Foreigners shouldn't be allowed to come here and protest our country.

I like the idea, but it flies directly against the First Amendment. Besides, there's already laws which can be pursued:

Iran is considered to be an enemy of the US. Iran funds Hamas to the point where they are Iran's proxy in all but formal name, therefore supporting Hamas is to support Iran. Those supporting Hamas are therefore guilty of Treason while those encouraging them are guilty of Sedition.

I wouldn't mind the penalty for Sedition be elevated to add the potential for the death penalty (as there is with Treason).


Just like with the border issue, extra laws aren't going to do shite about frick when current laws (ones which already cover the issue) are purposely not being enforced.

Really terrible bill and precedent. No one should support this (on either political side)

If you stand out side... Chant etc no big deal
You meet with leadership to advance your views - great
You sponsor guest speakers ... Fine

You take over a building cause you are a petulant fool...I can see some ramifications like deportation or no fly

If they are just protesting, no. If they are threatening people, occupying buildings, breaking the law, then yes.

Then find an old Liberty ship and take them to that new pier we built in Gaza.

While we are at it deport all who have illegally entered this country.

I support immediate deportation of the pro-Hamas protesters if they are here on student visas.

I'd rather her stop spending all my fricking tax dollars and giving it to fricking Ukraine. Can we do that instead?

These people love coming up with bullshite laws that the senate will kill or will get vetoed on Biden's desk. How about instead, you come up with legislation that will curb spending...?!

umm frick no cause when dems win again they will start classifying anyone at a maga rally as terrorist and putting them on this list

never ever ever ever give the government more power. they need less not more

plus, unless they are occupying something, they have the freedom to assemble to free speech under the constitution.

we both agree they are pieces of shite....but man never give the government power while you are in charge thinking the other side wont use that against you when they are back in power. frick all that.




and why are some of the so called "small gov conservatives" in this thread all for adding new laws and growing government.....wtf is wrong with yall??

No. The purpose of the “no-fly list” isn’t to punish political enemies. Bad precedent thst Democrats will use against conservative groups. Protest abortion? Banned. Protest election result? Banned.

quote:

and student visas revoked.
Yes! Foreign students are welcome to come here and get educated. Protesting against the US isn’t welcomed.

What is the criteria for the punishment? I expect it’s conviction of a crime?

I’d like to see every, single person here illegally (or expired VISA) removed

And then moratorium on any new citizens until immigration is fixed.
