Risks of Joining Communist Party in the USA (lemmygrad.ml)

Hi all, I've been considering joining the PCUSA or PLS, but am afraid of being discriminated against when finding a job or internship. I'm wondering if anyone here can provide their personal experience with being in a communist or socialist party in the USA, and whether or not I should wait until after finding a job to join one?

You shouldn't be divulging political affiliation on a job form, and it won't come up on a background check as what they check are credit and criminal records

The only thing you should be worried about with joining any Communist organization is if you're a noncitizen or a naturalized citizen for less than 5 years, as that can get you deported
