The common MO amongst right wingers is they claim that dissidents like Mahmoud Khalil is a “guest” and therefore they believe that he should not have the right to criticize the government.

What is your view on this?

Edit: Mr. Khalil has a Green Card btw, just to clarify.

    Pragmatically: It depends on the country’s laws for free speech and criticism, your location, and a country’s extradition relationship.

    Personally: Yes, we should all have the right to criticize our own and others’ governments. But we should also take the responsibility and initiative to get educated while doing so.
