It should be within the bounds of speech for people part of our society already

Not for people were considering allowing to join our society

Immigrants don't need "our" permission to join "our" society, they only need the permission of the government, as a matter of legal formality. And of course one could argue that "illegal immigrants" are a part of society, just not legally, because societies aren't only defined in the context of states.

Also free speech is a universal value, is it not? It should apply equally to everyone, everywhere, all the time, and in all contexts.

Free speech is a universal human value but realistically America is in a league of its own with what speech it allows.
