@mtaibbi People are being deported because they are criminals and illegal. Very simple they entered the country the wrong way and didn't care that they broke our laws. Send them home.

Sure, except there’s a Supreme Court ruling that says visitors have the same speech rights as citizens once they enter the country. If there’s a crime involved, that’s different, but I don’t think people should be deported for speech offenses.
