The petition takes aim at Morgan for his impassioned defense of proposed gun control legislation on air this week. It accuses him of launching “a hostile attack against the U.S. Constitution by targeting the Second Amendment.”
But according to immigration attorney Mark Schifanelli, it would take more than expressing an opinion on television to get Morgan booted out of the country.
The Department of Homeland Security would have the power to start a deportation process on Morgan if it was warranted, Schifanelli said, but even then, there’s no guarantee Morgan wouldn’t win the right to stay in an appeals process.
“He’s got certain rights,” Schifanelli told ABC News Monday. “Even as a foreign national in the United States, he’s afforded various rights under national security law and due process.”
What’s more, Morgan’s supposed attack on the Second Amendment is likely protected by the First Amendment. His speech would have to present “immediate danger” in order to break the law. Schifanelli said it’s unlikely Morgan’s defense of gun restrictions would meet that requirement.
But perhaps the best reason the president wouldn’t deport Morgan for advocating stricter gun laws on television is that he would be guilty of the same crime. [ link to abcnews.go.com] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30801825 classic! The only legal offense Mr. Morgan can be deported for is treason and espionage which is defined as.' Treason is subversive of the government; there is High Treason, as well. ('treason' meaning; subversion of the rights of citizens as well). Espionage, is snooping in violation of trust. Trust is designated by the Constitution. Treason can be an action that is perpetuated by espionage. American citizens are protected from charges of espionage, by the rights of the First Amendment, since it guarantees that the population of citizens are to be kept informed via a Free Press and remain active within the workings of the government.
