“Are you now or have you ever been in a terrorist organization”
They’d never think to lie right? Like, that’d be illegal something terrorists are very concerned about, and yet for some reason that question is on immigration, security clearance and gun sale background checks.
I’m quite sure there’s a heightened background investigation for immigrants, but I like to make fun of the existence of that question.
Well submitting false sworn statements definitely is illegal so you may have a point. Especially since it includes the “have you ever” part, instead of just currently.
I’m guessing it’s the same policy as with any other terror group. Prosecute them, jail them if guilty*

*Not always, look up Guantanamo bay. Most surveillance laws post 9/11 are really scary and give a huge amount of power to nsa and fbi to watch over any American without a warrant. Check Edward Snowden on Wikipedia for more information
I wasn’t sure if the policy was as explicit as something like “expel them all”
FTA:
The Safeguarding Americans From Extremism Act would require the Department of Homeland Security to refrain from issuing visas or granting refugee, asylum, or temporary protected status to anyone holding a passport issued by the Palestinian Authority. It would also revoke visas and refugee or asylum status for anyone who was granted it on or after October 1.
Well, hamas is recognised as a terrorist organisation, the US is already probably arresting or deporting known members.

Probably end up with a lot of dumb fucks going “Hell Yeah I am, Brother! Trump 2024!”
CPAC: “We are all domestic terrorists”
The only time Republicans have ever spoken the truth.
Who was it who said “listen to conservatives: they’ll tell you who they are” ?
Wildly speculating but… Having been a member of a terrorist organization may not itself be illegal. But submitting false sworn statements could be.

So… you may think it’s stupid, and lets be honest, anyone who answers "yes’ is pretty freaking stupid.
but there are plenty of absolutely dumb-as-shit people. Why not leave it in there and let some of them sort themselves out.
Oh yeah sure, it doesn’t hurt anything to leave it in lol
We even HAVE a McCarthy.
That’s what I thought, but I wasn’t sure if the policy was as explicit as something like “expel them all”. Maybe it is though.

It’s cute how it actually tries to let them spy on adjacent countries, up to 100mi past the border (or, most of the habitable part of Canada).
As if they weren’t already spying on every nation they feel like it by simply outsourcing that to google
FTA:
That’s a fucking dick move
Thanks!
