I think the rules apply to the non-citizen while they are here. I think they actually agree to that when they enter the US. So, technically, they are rebelling.
- ceejayoz 16y agoIf they're "rebelling", then so are Russian agents here covertly. I'd say it's pretty clear the Constitution didn't intend for arbitrary criminal acts committed by individuals or small groups to count as rebellions.
- electromagnetic 16y agoA person part of a militant group entering US territory with the express aim of subverting the US government would be invading, not rebelling. If you're of the country and attacking it, you're a rebel. If you're not-of the country and attacking it, you're invading.
- stretchwithme 16y agoThat makes sense to me. I don't think you need to have an intent to control territory. Nor do I think we stop an examine things to make sure of the purpose.
