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.

    Gulags for ideological differences thats right up their alley. But there is no chance this passes?

    They’re already building the camps. They won’t be just for immigrants for long. They’re so big and there’s so many. You don’t make that kind of a long-term investment for a short-term problem. They’ll round up their other undesirables to put in them too.

      To be fair, I’m not convinced these people think long term. They might well have just made a place to “store” people while they wait to legally deport them. Not that it actually makes a difference given the horrific conditions they’re placing people in, but as always with MAGA it’s difficult to distinguish malice and stupidity.

        That’s actually what the Nazis’ extermination camp started as. Dachau (opened 22 March 1933) was origionally a deportation camp. As things progressed (they couldn’t find anywhere to deport the Jews to and the war was taking a turn against them on the Eastern Front) they evolved into extermination camps after the Wannsee Conference in '41. It’s why it was called the FINAL Solution.
