The Mamdani Act would amend existing immigration law to prohibit the admission and naturalization of any noncitizen who is or was a member of, affiliated with, or advocates for a Chinese communist, communist, socialist, Islamic fundamentalist or other totalitarian party—or any organization that advocates those ideologies. Under its deportation provisions, a noncitizen already in the United States could be removed if they engage in advocacy for socialism, communism, Marxism or Islamic fundamentalism, distribute or publish material promoting those ideologies or hold membership in affiliated organizations at any point after admission.

You know he is a much needed anti-toxin, especially when they name a bill after him. Let the healing begin.

      Believe me, it really seems that this bill demonstrates that the only good Republican is a dead Republican. But, they’re running the show without much of a violent push-back. So, it’s best not to give them ideas.

      Also, weaponizing a federal law against Trump supporters at the federal level implies that he’s going to give up power. We saw how that went last time.

        We’re already weaponizing tons of laws against Trump supporters, from redistricting California to the countless court decisions against him. Trump and the law have thus far been inherently opposed to each other. By making autocratic and authoritarian ideologies grounds for expulsion we could expel Trump supporters on the very same grounds.
