  2. Happy for him. He doesn’t seem to like US much, so he can take his family back and continue living according to what he believes and continue exercising his right to free speech. 😅😂

  4. Only American Citizens have constitutional rights. I’m sick to death of hearing immigrants constantly claiming that their constitutional rights are being violated.

  5. Kahlil , his wife, and child really don't fit in here. They'd be much better off living in a Muslim country. The U.S. isn't a Muslim country, and never will be.

  7. You don't come to America and bring your Anti-Semitic and Anti-American propganda. You do not have any free speech.

  15. Send him and all his friends back and ban from entering in US. Democrats are the biggest enemies of US. Read about Subversion
