The very point of a constitution is that it trumps everything. If Americans dislike it, pass a constitutional amendment.
Also, I’ve found no photos/footage of Khalil wearing a keffiyeh or speaking in support of armed resistance. If he has actively called for violence, I’d like to see it.
Here’s what I have seen Khalil say: “There is, of course, no place for antisemitism” and “As a Palestinian student, I believe that the liberation of the Palestinian people and the Jewish people are intertwined and go hand-by-hand and you cannot achieve one without the other.”
Moreover, why should I care if a green card holder is wearing a keffiyeh when we don’t if they’re waving an IDF flag?And even if he had been advocating armed resistance, why should I care what he advocates happening in a region halfway around the world? Of what relevance is that view, however wrong, to me as an American? And if I am supposed to care about it, why should I care about it more than all the Israelis here on visas and green cards who support indiscriminate bombings against civilians or the intentional restriction of food and water to civilians as a military tactic.
This isn’t just a thought experiment. This group, @Betar_USA, are the ones who apparently provided Khalil’s name to the Trump administration. Are we supposed to think that these people are better than Khalil?
