The common MO amongst right wingers is they claim that dissidents like Mahmoud Khalil is a “guest” and therefore they believe that he should not have the right to criticize the government.

What is your view on this?

Edit: Mr. Khalil has a Green Card btw, just to clarify.

    That depends on if we consider Thomas Paine a founding father or a criminal speaker.

    Free speech means you can speak freely

      Free free speech hasn’t existed in the US for a long, long time.

      Sure you can quip jokes, sure you can call names, you can protest a little bit here and there.

      But try being a student and protest, it may actually get you killed or deported or just disappeared.
