    I'm glad that we agree. Though that does contradict the previous thing that you said:

    As you clearly believe that this man intends you harm, and you also believe that the government has unlimited power to jail him forever on the basis of your belief, it doesn't follow that you actually think that he should be released at all. Those two concepts are incongruent.

    Take it however you please.


    You are asking what allows government to release him.

    I am asking what allows government to continue to jail him.


    It's as simple as that.

    There is no contradiction, if he is expelled he can't harm us.
    He must be held until he is expelled.

    They should not release a terrorist here, that kind of policy will lead to similar results.

    This takes us, once again, back to the actual central theme of your belief: the default state of (this) man is to be jailed by the state until such time as there is proper cause for him to be free.

    I, on the other hand, believe that the default state of (this) man is to be free until such time as there is proper cause for him to be jailed.


    Parentheses included because my strong suspicion is that this belief extends to all people and not just this one guy.

    There are lots of other places he can be released but you keep ignoring that because your goal is to let him invade America and create a precedent that allows others to invade as well.

    It is the proper thing to lock up invaders until they are expelled but you are on the side of the invaders.

    This case is an excellent example of why we shouldn't let so many people in and shouldn't let any in at all from certain cultures.

    Life is like a SNL skit: a guy is sitting in jail for donating money to terrorists and while sitting there, he continously screams "death to America". No country on Earth wants him, except our bleeding hearts. Here comes our dopey US guard unlocking the cell, giving him an EBT card, cell phone and a section 8 apartment, all the while still screaming "death to America". What a world.

    Not imprison him forever.
    lol , out of four of you , no response, that's a statistical conspiracy.


    So seriously , that's your answer, and I assume you answer for the four of you;



    ''Don't imprison him...''



    Brilliant solution!!!

    But, yea, I didn't ask what not to do , I asked what you four would have them
    do with him..

    Guy just got done funding our enemies and let's release a NON US citizen in the US because no one will take him in. You are such a joke. The LP will never be legitimate party. LP is controlled opposition and not so intelligent whatsoever people. Which one are you?

    I wish I could live in fantasy land. Maybe if angelatc hooks me up with them vaccines I can achieve a presence there.

    Hassoun: I came here illegally and funded terrorists.

    theCount:. You're a great American and are free to run through our county.

    Hassoun:. I also served...

    theCount:. Oh, Army, Navy, Marines?

    Hassoun:. No. San Quentin. Death to America.

    theCount: Even better. Here's an EBT card.

    Hassoun: Cool. Can I sleep on your couch, bud?

    theCount: Oh no no no. Go to RJB's neighborhood and bother him.

    This can now happen to ANYONE. You don't care because he was an immigrant, but this opens the door to some very scary possibilities for the average American.

    Virginia is already looking at making it a crime to learn or teach martial arts- think about that.

    No. He was in prison for that reason. Then he completed his sentence. Why is he in prison now?

    Every single one of those people implied he should be free in the UNITED STATES or like ender said NEW YORK. They couldn't come out and say it straight because they would be exposed. Again where should he be freed at?????? No one is answering that question. It's all silent and crickets.

    WHERE SHOULD HE BE FREED AT?

    WHERE SHOULD HE BE FREED AT?
    23. Mr. Hassoun arrived in the United States on September 10, 1989, as a
    nonimmigrant visitor. He changed his status to that of an F-1 nonimmigrant student on June 5,
    1990, when he began his studies at Nova Southeastern University.

    24. After completing his degree in computer science and after receiving work
    authorization, Mr. Hassoun worked in the IT field as a computer programmer and systems analyst.
    During this time, his mother sponsored him for a green card, and filed an immigrant visa petition
    on his behalf. This petition was granted in 1990, but his adjustment of status (“green card”)
    application remained pending for years. While waiting on his green card, Mr. Hassoun began a
    family and had three sons, all of whom are U.S. citizens.


    25. On June 12, 2002, Mr. Hassoun was detained by immigration authorities and
    Case 1:19-cv-00370-EAW Document 13 Filed 05/14/19 Page 5 of 22
    6
    charged with overstaying his visa, despite the fact that the government had approved his mother’s
    petition sponsoring him for permanent resident in 1990, and his application for a green card
    remained pending. The government detained Mr. Hassoun at the Krome Service Processing Center
    in Miami, Florida throughout his immigration proceedings.
    He was also asked to be an alphabet informant- and when he refused......

    The whole legal mess is here:

    Your "other places" are an intentional distraction from the topic and diversion from the very real belief that you hold as to the government's power to imprison this man.


    This government has no intention to, nor will they in actuality, release this man in any of those "other places." What will happen, as the government has clearly said that it intends to do, is that he will be jailed forever pending someplace for him to go. You echo the government's sentiment repeatedly throughout the thread and endorse their supposed "right" to hold him so indefinitely.
