So what you’re saying is that he’s been a citizen for 8 years and you think it’s ok to deport him? And his political beliefs are also part of the justification? What happened to free speech?

no that’s not what i said but thanks for putting words in my mouth. There’s a certain level of a security threat when someone from outside the system can come in and in less than a decade take power and introduce disastrous policy. Happens to be a communist, which, yes, we deported people based off of historically - because it’s disasterous and has killed hundreds of millions of people. And it all starts with price controls (on the labor and housing markets) and government run grocery stores

its the same reason Illhan Omar should be deported. She’s a dual national and actively states her number one priority is somalia. That’s reason for deportation in it of itself, and she writes law that the rest of her constituents have to obey, as well as the country.

You’re using words that are framing this situation in a much more negative manner. He is not “taking power,” he won a primary and now the voters in New York City will decide democratically who should be the mayor. He’s not attempting some kind of coup. Who’s to say that, even if you disagree with someone’s politics, that they should be deported despite being elected fairly? Can’t you see how that’s an extremely slippery slope to start going down?

I’m assuming you don’t feel the same way about those in Congress who advance pro-Israel legislation, like banning boycotts of Israeli products?

Bad assumption. I do feel like foreign meddling in our domestic politics, at any level, is bad. Because he’s a communist introducing policies that will end in disaster and increase inequality. At any level, yes he’s taking power by running for mayor… what else is it called when someone gets to office?

Sure, you can think foreign meddling is bad. But I want you to say with your whole chest that you want to deport any Congress people who advance legislation that make other countries a greater priority than the United States, not just the ones you pick and choose because you don’t like them. Call for the deportation of the Republican Congresspeople who introduced the Israel Anti-Boycott bill. I don’t think you will

But let’s say I’m the Joe Biden and I think Donald Trump’s policies will be disastrous for the US. Do I have the right to deport him or restrict him from taking office because of that? That’s basically what you’re proposing should be allowed in the US. The federal government shouldn’t be allowed to intervene in democratic elections, period.
