It is a bit backwards that a legal citizen can have their rights stripped while immigrants enjoy a different standard. They enjoy protections and free access to resources that others have to compete over and they may or may not have the same expectation put on them to follow and abide by the law. Yet expecting legal citizens to do so under very strict terms is very much forcing the citizenry to avoid speaking out on bad policy because even a complaint that is spoken out of measure (badly worded) can land someone in trouble.

It's also why people riot. If they think they're under that much pressure and are being suppressed/forced to stay silent, they will find a way to vent that anger regardless as there is more power in a mob. This is why free speech matters.
