You're being willfully obtuse if you think people are arguing for "a free-for-all entry to anyone."

You're being willfully obtuse if you think people are arguing for "a free-for-all entry to anyone."
If you can't deny entry, isn't it a free-for-all?
Nobody said you can't deny entry. There is an infinitely long list of reasons they can deny entry including "because we said so."
However, they cannot deny entry on the basis of protected speech.
You're the only one struggling with this.
Well, we don't know the legal reason he was denied entry. Given that this is a foreign student and a protester, it could be that his permission to enter the country was revoked due to exceeding his purpose to be in the US.
I'm not debating what the legal formulation was, I just don't get the people who think he should have been let in. Since as in computer programming and in law, you can't nail down any circumstance in existence - you sometimes need apply the "do what I mean" rather than "do what said". In this case it does seem that the government did what the population would have liked it to have done. Though, I guess if he would sue, then you would do well in being his lawyers.
