Would President Harris Deport Someone Who Objected to DEI?

Fuzzy Chimp

We've already had the dumbest post of the day thanks to The Lincoln Project, but this is from yesterday, so we'll at least consider it a Friday contender. The first problem is assuming any scenario in which Kamala Harris is president. The second is assuming that Harris would close the border, let alone deport anyone.

Conor Friedersdorf had a thought experiment for us: Would conservatives be OK with President Harris deporting someone because they opposed DEI or men playing on women's sports teams? That's a strawman argument as if there ever was one. Obviously, he's referring to the feds arresting a Columbia graduate student who is a Hamas sympathizer and led anti-Semitic intimidation campaigns against Jewish students. Democrats, always anxious to be on the wrong side of an issue, are defending Mahmoud Kahlil and claiming his threats against Jews were free speech.

Apples and oranges, dude.

He's a green card holder. That means he's a guest in this country at the Secretary of State's discretion. We don't want Hamas members as guests.

Khalil's wife is eight months pregnant, so we can't arrest him. That's the same sort of logic Friedersdorf is trying to apply here.
