The ACLU Argues in Court that the First Amendment Guarantees Immigrants the Right to Enter the United States

December 21, 2007

aclu.gif   This is unbelievable, well, actually it is the ACLU so no, it’s not so unbelievable. The ACLU is claiming a person should not be denied a visa to come to the United States to protest the war because of the freedom of speech.

The First Amendment right to freedom of speech should be interpreted as preventing the U.S. government from denying a visa to a foreign critic of U.S. war-time policy who has been invited to speak here, even when national security concerns are cited, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is claiming in a federal lawsuit.

 Now forgive me for asking a stupid question here, but doesn’t the freedom of speech, guaranteed in the UNITED STATES constitution only apply to Americans? Don’t you have to actually be a citizen of the United States to be afforded the protections of the constitution?

 The Aclu will stop at nothing to push their radical leftist positions upon the American people by using the court system. This is the latest example of that.

“This is a case not of speech but of immigration,” Roger Pilon, director of the Center for Constitutional Studies at the CATO Institute, told Cybercast News Service. “The government has always had this discretion.”

 According to the ACLU the government shouldn’t have the right to regulate immigration. Does this sound as absurd as I think it does? This is the point in the post where I have to say that I am not opposed to LEGAL immigration, I am opposed to ILLEGAL immigration. There, I just made my politically correct disclaimer, so back to the post. I am certainly in favor of stopping people with questionable backgrounds, as this person has, from entering the country. Common sense would tell most people that there are certain types of people we don’t need or want in the country, but the ACLU lacks common sense. Honestly, much of America lacks common sense, and that is due to the rise of the nanny state. The nanny state has replaced common sense with disclaimers, warnings, and regulations, so it is not surprising that common sense is lacking here.

 The freedom of speech does not guarantee foreigners the right to come to America any more than the freedom of religion guarantees Muslims the right to fly planes into buildings. I probably shouldn’t write that, it could give the ACLU ideas. 

 The ACLU has been working overtime to break down the United States and all the ideals she was founded on and this is the latest example. I consider the ACLU a political terrorist organization and I want them banned from the United States. The country would be better off without them and their anti-American agenda.

    What a total crock of sch-t !!!!!

    If the ACLU would defend the 2nd Amendment like they defend the 1st Amendment, I wouldn’t hold them in such disdain !!!!!!

    This absolutely TAKES THE CAKE !!!

    If they did defend the second amendment, it would be to say that the constitution guarantees illegals the right to keep anb bear arms.

    The American Civil Liberals Union has lost all sight of what they think they are doing. I’m pretty much a civil libertarian, and if the ACLU were actually the American Civil Liberties Union I would certainly support them… But they are not. They are an activist group that have taken it to be their mission to be the political correctness police and make sure that anybody who doesn’t qualify as “average” American citizens are elevated to a protected status and treated as superior to the rest of us.

    While this article is shocking (and irritating) to say the least, it’s sadly not very surprising. The functional side of the US government as well as the average majority of America is under constant attack by an activist group that seemingly doesn’t like us… And hides behind the “noble” guise of protecting American civil liberties.

    I agree having studied the founding documents of America. The United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights protects American citizens ONLY. America is for Americans only. If you are an illegal in my country or here to take advantage of the system, or a muslem, get the fuck out of my country. We don’t need your issues. I have read documents from ACLU members stating that the ACLU is a communist or marxist front organization. Let the recors and prior members speak for that.
