Freedom of speech doesn't apply to foreign nationals applying to enter the country. It just doesn't. You can be denied entry for any reason. You don't have a right to visit another country. It's a privilege. There's no free speech issue here at all.
That being said, I suspect there is more to this story than the headline is alluding to, as there often is.
- littlestymaar 2y agoNo, in a country that follows the rule of law, there's no such thing as “for any reason” it must be “reasons provided by laws”. If any bureaucrat can, for no legal reason, expel you, then it's the open door to abuse of power and corruption. > You don't have a right to visit another country. It's a privilege. In fact as a French citizen, the US has signed bilateral convention with my country that gives me the right to visit the US under a certain set of formalities depending on the circumstances, and this is reciprocal.
