We have the absolute sovereign right to control our borders and to eject anyone we choose to eject, or to refuse admittance to anyone, for whatever reasons we may choose. Foreign citizens who display hatred for the USA should immediately be deported. If they hate us, why should we want them to stay here? They are guests in our country, with no entitlement to be here other than by our hospitality, which can be withdrawn at any time and for any reason we may choose.
Any rights of free speech or free assembly or free press or any other civil right we may have as citizens, are extended to our guests only under the condition that they remain welcome here as guests. If they prove themselves undesirable as guests, we retain the sovereign right to deport them, even if if their undesirability was determined based on their exercise of a right. So, as a guest, they have to the right to speak out against us, and they cannot be prosecuted for that speech. But we are not required to let them stay here and continue to speak out against us.
QUESTION: But how can we do this? How would it be possible to deport these people without creating some sort of crime called "Hating The USA" and then convicting them of it? And then, wouldn't we need some sort of "Thought Police" to determine if they were guilty of "Criminal Thought?" Doesn't this sound like a Police State, which we are always opposed to?
ANSWER: No, we would not need a Police State or Thought Police or Criminal Thought, because we are not talking about any sort of crime. We are simply deciding whether or not a particular foreign citizen is welcome here in the USA. It is no crime to be unwelcome; and no punishment would be imposed. Deportation is not necessarily a punishment; it can simply be a Sovereign decision of the People, acting through our duly elected and appointed officials, that a certain person is no longer welcome here. Some kind of Administrative Hearing within the Department Of Immigration should be sufficient, with perhaps Congressional oversight.
If you doubt the legitimacy of these comments, above, please refer to the statements of Thomas Jefferson, below, on Sovereignty:
"From the nature of things, every society must at all times possess within itself the sovereign powers of legislation." --Thomas Jefferson: Rights of British America, 1774. Papers 1:132 "Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." --Thomas Jefferson: Declaration of Independence, 1776. ME 1:29, Papers 1:429 "I consider the source of authority with us to be the Nation. Their will, declared through its proper organ, is valid till revoked by their will declared through its proper organ again also." --Thomas Jefferson to George Washington, 1792. ME 8:301 "Whenever our affairs go obviously wrong, the good sense of the people will interpose and set them to rights." --Thomas Jefferson to David Humphreys, 1789. ME 7:322 "Every nation has a right to govern itself internally under what forms it pleases, and to change these forms at its own will; and externally to transact business with other nations through whatever organ it chooses, whether that be a King, Convention, Assembly, Committee, President, or whatever it be. The only thing essential is, the will of the nation." --Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Pinckney, 1792. ME 9:7 "[The people] are in truth the only legitimate proprietors of the soil and government." --Thomas Jefferson to Pierre Samuel Dupont de Nemours, 1813. ME 19:197 "[It is] the people, to whom all authority belongs." --Thomas Jefferson to Spencer Roane, 1821. ME 15:328 "The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves in all cases to which they think themselves competent (as in electing their functionaries executive and legislative, and deciding by a jury of themselves in all judiciary cases in which any fact is involved), or they may act by representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property, and freedom of the press." --Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright, 1824. ME 16:45 "In a country whose constitution is derived from the will of the people directly expressed by their free suffrages, where the principal executive functionaries and those of the legislature are renewed by them at short periods, where under the character of jurors they exercise in person the greatest portion of the judiciary powers, where the laws are consequently so formed and administered as to bear with equal weight and favor on all, restraining no man in the pursuits of honest industry and securing to every one the property which that acquires, it would not be supposed that any safeguards could be needed against insurrection or enterprise on the public peace or authority. The laws, however, aware that these should not be trusted to moral restraints only, have wisely provided punishments for these crimes when committed." --Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806. ME 3:418 "I acknowledge the right of voluntary associations for laudable purposes and in moderate numbers. I acknowledge, too, the expediency for revolutionary purposes of general associations coextensive with the nation. But where, as in our case, no abuses call for revolution, voluntary associations so extensive as to grapple with and control the government, should such be or become their purpose, are dangerous machines and should be frowned down in every well regulated government." --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1822. "Private associations... whose magnitude may rivalize and jeopardize the march of regular government [may become] necessary [in] the case where the regular authorities of the government [combine] against the rights of the people, and no means of correction [remains] to them but to organize a collateral power which, with their support, might rescue and secure their violated rights. But such is not the case with our government. We need hazard no collateral power which, by a change of its original views and assumption of others we know not how virtuous or how mischievous, would be ready organized and in force sufficient to shake the established foundations of society and endanger its peace and the principles on which it is based." --Thomas Jefferson to Jedediah Morse, 1822. ME 15:357 "The framers of our constitution certainly supposed they had guarded, as well their government against destruction by treason, as their citizens against oppression under pretence of it; and if these ends are not attained, it is of importance to inquire by what means, more effectual, they may be secured." --Thomas Jefferson: 7th Annual Message, 1807. ME 3:452 "Looking forward with anxiety to [the] future destinies [of my fellow citizens], I trust that, in their steady character unshaken by difficulties, in their love of liberty, obedience to law, and support of the public authorities, I see a sure guaranty of the permanence of our republic." --Thomas Jefferson: 8th Annual Message, 1808.
