Debate over green cards for pro-terrorism individuals

The arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University student, has sparked debate over U.S. immigration policies. Khalil faces deportation for distributing pro-Hamas propaganda, raising concerns about granting residency to individuals linked to terrorist organizations. The Trump administration has intensified scrutiny of immigration status for those involved in antisemitic activities. Khalil's case highlights a push to prioritize green cards for individuals who support American values over those who endorse violence. Recent policies have led to increased capacity in immigration detention centers and the introduction of a self-deportation option through the CBP Home app. These measures aim to enhance border security and ensure that U.S. residency is granted to those who appreciate the country.
