FOREIGN STUDENTS HAVE NO RIGHTS

BY SNN.BZ STAFF

Mahmoud Khalil, an international student at Columbia University, was recently denied the privilege to remain in the United States after it was determined that he actively promoted and supported Hamas, which is officially designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) by the U.S. government.

The court ruled (which finally answers the question) that foreign nationals DO NOT have the same rights and protections as U.S. citizens—especially when it comes to national security and immigration law. The law is almost identical in all countries around the world except that in some countries – the authorities simply assassinate you on the spot. In the United States, there are a few discussions but in the end, they will deport you. Here’s the key reasoning behind the United States decision:

---

1. Hamas Is a Designated Terrorist Organization

---

Failing to Disclose Terrorist Sympathies “Is Lying by Omission.”

In U.S. immigration law, “lying by omission” can be considered willful misrepresentation or fraud under INA § 212(a)(6)(C)(i), which renders an applicant inadmissible if they seek a visa or other immigration benefit by misrepresenting a material fact. Here’s how it applies to an applicant’s scenario:

Applicants must answer under penalty of perjury. Failing to disclose affiliations with a designated terrorist organization (e.g., Hamas, per the U.S. State Department) when directly asked is not just an omission—it’s a false statement, as the question requires a “yes” if applicable.

DS-160/DS-260 Questions:

The visa application forms (DS-160 for nonimmigrant, DS-260 for immigrant) explicitly ask:

“Have you ever been a member of, or in any way affiliated with, a terrorist organization or group engaged in terrorist activities?”

“Have you ever engaged in, ordered, incited, assisted, donated to or otherwise participated in terrorism?”

Applicants must answer under penalty of perjury. Failing to disclose affiliations with a designated terrorist organization (e.g., Hamas, per the U.S. State Department) when directly asked is not just omission—it’s a false statement, as the question requires a “yes” if applicable.

The definition of assisting and promoting, is marching in the streets on a terrorist’s behalf or giving money to a terrorist group. That also means aiding, abetting, supporting, dispersing flyers and advertising material, marching in the streets and all of the activities that are considered “assisting/promoting.”

2. Immigration Law Has Clear Rules About Terrorists and Terrorism

Under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA):

• Any non-citizen who endorses or incites terrorist activity, or provides material support to a terrorist organization, is inadmissible to the U.S. and can and will be deported for promoting terrorist organizations.
• “Material support” can include fundraising, organizing events, or public advocacy if it’s tied to terrorist groups (that’s exactly what Mahmoud Khalil does, every day – all day long).
• An American citizen who endorses or incites terrorist activity, or provides material support to a terrorist organization, can jeopardize his or her rights and can and will be incarcerated for promoting terrorist organizations.

The court found that Khalil’s actions—organizing and leading protests that explicitly promoted allegiance to Hamas—went beyond free speech and veered into territory that U.S. law does not protect non-citizens or American citizens. If you promote a terrorist group – your life as you know it will change irreversibly.

Many young people are unaware that protesting and cheering on a terrorists group is punishable by law. They thought they were exercising their right to free speech and assembly. Many people 30 years of age and younger have no idea how much of their time and lives they are jeopardizing. Many young people think it’s “just another job” because most jobs don’t pay as much as protesting and spending the day with your friends pays.

3. Non-Citizens Don’t Get Full Constitutional Protections (Americans don’t either)

Let’s clear up a common misunderstanding: While you’re in the U.S. on a student visa, you do have certain rights, like due process. But you don’t get the full rights of a U.S. citizen—especially when it comes to immigration status and national security.

If you violate the conditions of your visa, promote terrorism, or threaten national safety, the U.S. government can and will revoke your visa and remove you from the country.

This week, it has been well proven that people working or studying in the USA that had already attained a Green Card (allowing the person to work) and discovered to have been protesting in the streets or on campuses rather than studying, found their Green Card instantly (electronically) revoked.

4. Speech Is Not Always Protected, Especially If It Supports Terrorism

Freedom of speech is a core American value. But it has limits, especially when it involves:

• Lying on your VISA application (either lying directly or lying by omission),
• Inciting violence,
• Supporting designated terrorist groups,
• Promoting foreign enemies of the United States.

Khalil wasn’t just expressing a political opinion—he actively aligned himself with a group known for violent attacks against civilians, including Americans. That crosses a legal and moral line. In most other countries, he would have been assassinated without a hearing of any kind. It would have been quiet, away from public notice.

Key Takeaway for International Students:

If you’re studying in the U.S. on a visa, you are a guest in the United States. You must follow all U.S. laws, not the laws you find convenient, including national security laws. Supporting or advocating for terrorist organizations in any way is not protected speech for visa holders—these activities are grounds for removal.

Foreign students are in the USA to study, grow, contribute, and learn—not to undermine the country’s safety. This dual allegiance is no longer tolerated. If you feel compelled to protest – return to your country of origin and do it there!

You cannot however, make any demands to stay in the USA if you’ve broken an immigration law. The United States is not inventing “new” immigration laws. They are simply enforcing the laws that were already on the books.

If you’re an American, supporting or advocating for terrorist organizations is not protected for you either and while you won’t be deported to another country, you can and will eventually be INCARCERATED.

---

If you’re ever unsure about what’s legal or protected under your visa, talk to an immigration lawyer not your university lawyer because that university lawyer may be an activist or a person that believes in anti-American terrorist groups. Don’t risk your future promoting terrorist groups or their ideals simply because you thought it was “free speech.”

And Key Takeaway for U.S. Students who were born in the USA:

Whether you were born in the U.S., have become a citizen, hold a green card, temporary status, or are in the U.S. through marriage or any other legal means, you are required to comply with U.S. laws, including those related to national security. Supporting or advocating for terrorist organizations is not protected speech for anyone—it can lead to deportation for non-citizens and imprisonment for U.S. citizens.

Even if you’re a U.S. citizen and protesting in support of terrorist groups won’t lead to deportation, don’t assume it’s permissible. Such actions, whether direct or indirect, can result in incarceration under U.S. law.

OFFICIAL WARNING TO ALL PROTEST PARTICIPANTS & SYMPATHIZERS

It has come to light that certain NGOs and organizations with known affiliations to terrorist sympathizers have been actively paying students and young adults to protest against the U.S. government and promote terrorist organizations.

Students are reportedly being offered $200+ per day, often through CashApp or Venmo to act as agents of chaos on college campuses and in American cities. This is not protest—this is paid political manipulation by foreign-influenced actors who seek to divide and destabilize the United States.

If You Are Receiving Government Assistance or Private Grants of any kind:

Whether you are:

• On Social Services,
• Receiving a Pell Grant or FAFSA assistance, TANF
• Living on a housing subsidy of any kind (Including Section 8 housing)
• Receiving food stamps (SNAP) or WIC,
• Benefiting from corporate scholarships or NGO-funded programs…

If you are caught supporting or participating in movements that align with terrorist organizations, you will be immediately disqualified from receiving any aid or assistance.
All funding, housing, or subsidies will be revoked—permanently.
You will be subject to federal investigation under terrorism-related statutes.

---

If You Are a Foreign Student:

If you are in the United States on a student visa, work visa, or temporary residency of any kind, and are:

• Protesting in support of a terrorist group like Hamas, Hezbollah, or any U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO),
• Accepting money, goods or services to help promote anti-U.S. agendas,
• Attending or organizing events that promote terrorism or civil unrest…

You will be deported without exception.
You will be permanently banned from re-entering the United States.
Your visa status will be canceled, and you will have no right to appeal.

---

If You Are an American Citizen:

If you are knowingly:

• Advocating for terrorism,
• Accepting payment from groups that support terror,
• Organizing violent protests,
• Promoting foreign terrorist ideology…

You are not protected under “free speech.”
You will be arrested, charged, and incarcerated under federal anti-terrorism laws.
The FBI and Homeland Security are actively monitoring protest networks, online activity, and payment systems like CashApp and Venmo.

The Mahmoud Khalil issue is not about politics — it is about national security.

The U.S. government and law enforcement will not tolerate domestic sympathizers of terrorism—paid or unpaid.

Whether you’re 15 or 60 years of age, American or foreign, rich or poor and support terrorism in any form, there will be consequences. No second chances. No excuses.

---

If you’re unsure whether what you’re doing or supporting crosses the line—stop now. Get legal advice. Walk away before it’s too late.

Do not sell your future for a $200 per day because once you are identified (with facial recognition which is easy to do), those same organizations will not pay to free you from incarceration or protect you from deportation.

If you are a foreign national who has come to the United States for education or employment, remember that residing in the U.S. is a privilege, not an obligation. There are many wonderful places to live around the world. If you find the American way of life unsatisfactory, you don’t need to endure it—consider relocating with your family to a country that aligns with your values and enhances your daily life.
