I completely agree with you that absent imminent threat of violence, government may not attempt to suppress or control speech.

On the other hand, I believe that people should experience the consequences of their speech. If this means losing your job offer or being shunned by people appalled by your speech, that is perfectly appropriate and correct.

Furthermore, while foreign nationals have a protected right of speech while in the United States, they do not have a protected right to be here. There are here at our pleasure, and that privilege can and should be revoked if we believe that they detract from, rather than add to, our society. We owe them nothing.
