The Mamdani Act would amend existing immigration law to prohibit the admission and naturalization of any noncitizen who is or was a member of, affiliated with, or advocates for a Chinese communist, communist, socialist, Islamic fundamentalist or other totalitarian party—or any organization that advocates those ideologies. Under its deportation provisions, a noncitizen already in the United States could be removed if they engage in advocacy for socialism, communism, Marxism or Islamic fundamentalism, distribute or publish material promoting those ideologies or hold membership in affiliated organizations at any point after admission.

You know he is a much needed anti-toxin, especially when they name a bill after him. Let the healing begin.

    That means this bill has to define socialism. Good luck with that one bucko, if you have 10 socialists in a room, you get 11 definitions /s

    I'm genuinely curious how it gets defined. I'm wondering if it can be sidestepped with a simple word change

    That means this bill has to define socialism.

    It's not meant to have a definition. That's why the proposed law denies judicial review. The "definition" is supposed to be whatever the ICE Officer(s) Gestapo wants it to be.

    Mamdani is a centrist, he isn't left. But since the Republicans are alt right and the Democrats are right, they consider everything else to be far left and label anything that isn't right as communist. They don't know what communism is. Even Trump labeled people communist nazis. Communists and nazis are the opposite of eachother. Americans are so, so fucking dumb.

    Mamdani is the closest thing to a left wing politician America has been exposed to (to my European eyes he seems center-left), and the whole of the US is going completely ballistic about it.

    A fortnightly somewhat comedic podcast also recommended that progressive politicians should follow his campaign style, focusing mostly on economic policies to help everyday policies. I wouldn't call them experts or anything, but they claimed a few other politicians doing the same thing had promising results (they didn't state specific examples).

    But yeah, lots of Americans do like at least some of what he's doing, but those usually aren't anyone near power.

    Yeah, no. I'd much rather have all the MAGA deported. It would really make this country 10 times better overnight. Much less murder and crime instantly.

    Don't pay attention to this, it's going nowhere, it's weak propaganda to distract from the Epstein Files and the ArmerIsraeli War®.

    I know literacy is not their strong suit, but current immigration law already prohibits being a member of a communist or totalitarian party. There are exceptions, of course.

    Chip fails to realize that Krasnov's father-in-law would be deported, he was a f'n Yugoslavian Communist Party member. Preventing pedophiles, rapists and felons from public office would be a better bill.

    Does this encroach on first amendment or can they just ban whoever they don't like under the guise of national security?
