You refuse to serve your country, you refuse to listen to those who have and have personal experience with it.  But I still support your right to have an opinion on the matter, even if it’s counter to mine.  No need to block nor report.  It’s all just discourse.

i have respect for those who serve in the us military, non usc's included, especially because i would never serve in the military. there are us veterans who also hold my opinion so i'm not sure where you're going with that.

discourse does not involve quips such as "Just reaffirms what some already know." and "You don’t understand, and never will understand", capisce?

We are talking about Permanent Residents not having the risk of being deported.

Let’s break it down to just the facts.

 

A mexican citizen came to America and was convicted of felony drug possession/trafficking charges.  Plead the amount down from 4.4 lbs to 100 grams for a reduced sentence.  Served a little over half of his sentence, and was deported to his country of citizenship where he shall remain for life.

 

Had the crime been committed by a USC, he/she might have plead the same sentence, served most of it, and remained in their country of citizenship for life, with an additional ban on owning firearms for life.

he was here from the age of 11. he was convicted of a crime and served his punishment. he didn't serve less time because he's not a citizen, that's silly. it is totally normal to serve a portion of a sentence.

What’s silly is that you somehow misinterpreted what I said enough to garner that I meant that.  I did not.

But apparently he didn't wish to be a citizen until he thought it might help him.  Until then, he was perfectly happy being an LPR and there is nothing wrong with that.
