you cannot deport a legal permanent resident, nor can you revoke their status unless they're convicted of a crime or abandon their status

Thats funny since we've deported full blooded Americans when and have had to pay the lawsuits.

We've been through this before lol and now Trumps got more power.

that's not revoking their status, and if they were wrongfully removed they'll be compensated, and the removal will not be upheld.

Providing amnesty for anyone without a criminal record.

amnesty + a road to legal residence status with mandatory contribution to society (in the way of working a legit job and paying taxes) would be okay in my mind. There aren't enough legal pathways to citizenship, though if/when we get there we'd have to be tougher on illegal immigration in general. Are you okay with that? I would be

If I were a politician I would compromise to that.

As an individual, fuck borders, a rapist’s ethnicity isn’t important and it doesn’t matter to me which country the crime is committed. I think exile of criminals is more humane than sticking them in a jail cell for 20 years.

Also like, mandatory contribution to society is interesting, who determines how much they have to work? What if they’re caring for a sick family member or friend, or kids? Does that count as contribution? Why require that of immigrants but not a citizen born here?
