Should Perez have been deported to Australia instead?

Hehe, no.  

 

What I'm saying is that while he's legally Mexican I actually see him as more of an American.  America (middle school, highschool, military, prison ...) certainly had more influence on forming this person than Mexico.  America got an innocent kid from Mexico and now returns a criminal with PTSD.

I hear ya.  Had he only obtained his USC back in 1994, he would still be in prison, not deported.  It seems he made more than one bad choice along the way.  At least he got out of prison sooner than he was eligible to.

Just trying to look for the silver lining.  Now he can apply for USC and legally re-enter (after his ban is lifted).

I think someone with a drug trafficking conviction has a life time bar with no chance of waiver.

including Vets. Being a vet has no more clout if you are a drug dealer than does being the dog catcher. It is irrelevant .

So a drug trafficking vet should be allowed to keep doing what they are doing?  As @Merle said, not all vets are good.

shall we begin executing doctors first?

I suppose if a Dr. is found guilty of trafficking in narcotics, and is also an LPR, they may face deportation and a lifetime bar as well.
