Social media accounts are being checked for political views in the wake of President Donald Trump's immigration ban, according to a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association.

"US border patrol is deciding re-entry for green card holders on a case by case basis -- questions about political views, checking Facebook, etc," Yegani's tweet writes.

If they say it on an open public venue, it's public information.

Germany already arrests people for saying things that might offend people on Facebook. Facebook is a totalitarian governments wet dream.

We need to monitor everything everybody says and does. It is to keep you safe.

Funny how the liberal does not care about this until it hits his pet issue. You are silent on this, Zip, until it hits home. Wouldn't want another Holocaust, I guess.

People that post shit on Facebook deserve what they get. I understand that they look for people's views on here as well, so here is my political view for our wonderful protectors of freedom:

Leave me the fuck alone.

Wasn't it AF who labeled the whole site "A thought-crime in progress."?

Yep. They could round up a bunch of us "anti-government types" from this site. Being surrounded by brain dead statists all day every day is getting old anyway.

The STATE DEPT are mandated by law to do the 'vetting'
for legal immigration/visas/green cards in the FIRST place.

They ADMIT they haven't BEEN doing it at ANY level near resembling 'scrutiny' / security.
They ADMIT they haven't WANTED to do it.
Go HERE (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?507105-Gowdy-Chaffetz-Prove-Why-Travel-Ban-Is-Needed-%28aka-Refugees-Cannot-Be-Vetted-%29).

that's why (now)
the 'Green Cards' mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
They are not 'quality assurance' of anything.
so
the LEOs and CBP are 'stuck' with (now) having to do
the JOB
that the State Dept WILLFULLY FAILED to do in the first place.

The current vetting process for immigrants from the countries Trump named takes about two years. 99% are rejected even before the US starts their part of the vetting process.
