One difficulty in the U.S. immigration debate is the mass of people who hold positions contradictory to their heuristics. Namely, there are some who want to import non-Christian people in the name of Christianity.

Mahmoud Khalil is one such import. A graduate student and green card holder, Khalil was arrested recently on the grounds that he “led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization” after he organized pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University.
