This is chilling to more than just tourists. I have friends who are Mexican nationals who now have to consider any meme on their phone before their way back to the States after visiting home.

Because they are not American nationals.

My last border crossing, a few days ago: "What was the purpose of your travel? ... What are you bringing back with you? ... Welcome home." Took one minute.

Good for you I guess but my point was lawful permanent residents shouldn't have to worry about memes on their phones.

Legally they should, especially if those memes are anti-American. They are subject to immigration law, which is constitutional.

We are so nice to non-citizens in America that many of them actually do think they are legally a citizen's equal, except for voting rights. (I used to think that myself.) They are not.

Everyone in the US is protected by the Bill of Rights, including the right to free speech. Even immigrants.
