And what are those "special privilege" you keep babbling about.

[Kidlicious]

And what law is that?

The President simply need to create an order declaring them a national security risk and bans them from the country.

[Ming]

Gee... has he done so yet... and would it even pass a court test if he has no proof that they all enemies of the country?
I see you have no interest in actual laws or the constitution... In kid land, laws don't seem to matter.

And what are those "special privilege" you keep babbling about.

They are extremists that profess allegiance to an ideology hostile to the US. Name one other such group of people that are allowed such privilege?

[Ming]

So simple being a communist makes you an extremist? Hello McCarthy...
One can argue that the Republicans attempt to destroy democracy makes them extremists as well.. But the government and the laws protect you and all the other Trump Cult members.

Yes it would pass because it's the President's duty to protect the country. You don't need to prove that they are all enemies of they country. He can ban them all for national security reasons.

That's the law Ming. So stop accusing me of doing **** that you're doing.

Only you would claim that communists aren't extremists. They put people in concentration camps. They harvest people's organs. They are totalitarian.

Is there any limit to the absurdity of your claims?

[Ming]

Using your logic, we should throw ALL Muslims out of the country... All Russians... and what ever other nationality you want to hate.

And how did that work with Trumps Muslim ban... The courts threw it out. Like they should have.

Do you realize that you just called all Muslims and Russians enemies of America? You did, not me.

No. That's not my logic.

[Kidlicious]

It never was a Muslim ban. That was fake news. It was AND IS a ban on people from certain countries because those countries can't be trusted to vet people that are a danger to national security. And yes, that is the law.

[Ming]

Do you realize that you just called all Muslims and Russians enemies of America? You did, not me.

No. That's not my logic.

No I didn't... but keep pulling stuff out of your ass...
Many Russians are members of the communist party, but you are not saying we should throw them out.

[Kidlicious]

Yes I am.

Major leak 'exposes' members and 'lifts the lid' on the Chinese Communist Party

A major leak containing a register with the details of nearly two million CCP members has occurred – exposing members who are now working all over the world, while also lifting the lid on how the party operates under Xi Jinping, says Sharri Markson.

Ms Markson said the leak is a register with the details of Communist Party members, including their names, party position, birthday, national ID number and ethnicity.

“It is believed to be the first leak of its kind in the world,” the Sky News host said.

“What's amazing about this database is not just that it exposes people who are members of the communist party, and who are now living and working all over the world, from Australia to the US to the UK,” Ms Markson said.

“But it's amazing because it lifts the lid on how the party operates under President and Chairman Xi Jinping”.

Ms Markson said the leak demonstrates party branches are embedded in some of the world’s biggest companies and even inside government agencies.

“Communist party branches have been set up inside western companies, allowing the infiltration of those companies by CCP members - who, if called on, are answerable directly to the communist party, to the Chairman, the president himself,” she said.

“Along with the personal identifying details of 1.95 million communist party members, mostly from Shanghai, there are also the details of 79,000 communist party branches, many of them inside companies”.

Ms Markson said the leak is a significant security breach likely to embarrass Xi Jinping.

“It is also going to embarrass some global companies who appear to have no plan in place to protect their intellectual property from theft. From economic espionage,” she said.

Ms Markson said the data was extracted from a Shanghai server by Chinese dissidents, whistleblowers, in April 2016, who have been using it for counter-intelligence purposes.

“It was then leaked in mid-September to the newly-formed international bi-partisan group, the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China- and that group is made up of 150 legislators around the world.

“It was then provided to an international consortium of four media organisations, The Australian, The Sunday Mail in the UK, De Standaard in Belgium and a Swedish editor, to analyse over the past two months, and that's what we've done".

Ms Markson said it, “is worth noting that there's no suggestion that these members have committed espionage - but the concern is over whether Australia or these companies knew of the CCP members and if so have any steps been taken to protect their data and people”."

They aren't going to dox the members but the people that got this information certainly will, and rightfully so. All of these people should be sent back to where they came from.
