Yes, but it is curious that he never tried to get citizenship. Must not bother him too much to be deported if he couldn't be bothered.

Also, I think the stories about him left out some details: domestic abuse charges, for one. DUI for another.

Nevertheless, why didn't he apply for citizenship? Seems simple enough. He was eligible.

Here is a newsflash - not all green card holder want to get citizenship. It is a choice and people should not be judged based on their choice which American laws allows. I applied my citizenship after 10 years of my greencard. I did not want to renew the GC, so I decided to apply for citizenship. No, I do not have anything in my past for which I can be deported, but who knows. But it is detrimental to the health of the country if only perfect angels are allowed to maintain legal residency. It is completely racist to hold first generation immigrants/citizens to a much higher standard than who is a 2nd generation citizen.

And here you go, folks. Enforcing the immigration laws is a Republican goal. It is very telling that enforcing the law will cause Democrats to turn out for the midterm elections.

And amazing that simply enforcing immigration laws is now a "far right" initiative. Who knew?

No, dear. READ, READ before you shoot off. The bill is a hard-line immigration one that not even all Republicans like and is DOA in the senate. The Freedom Caucus is forcing moderates to either alienate their moderate constituents (good for Democrats), many in purple border states, or break with their own party (devour themselves).

No, sweetheart, read the bill before you shoot off. It is a bill that simply enforces immigration law. Just because you characterize it as hard line does not make it so. Whatever that is even supposed to mean.

There are some things in it that are a little harsh--like having to obey the law or risk deportation. Maybe, the GOP could negotiate those things.

Then why don;t all republicans support it?

Well, Sarah Huckabee Sanders just announced that Trump says the Graham-Durbin bill is DOA. Time for Ryan et al to sweep in.

No, even the Freedom Caucus deserves to stay in America.

DEPORT DEPORT DEPORT

The Freedom Caucus people are such newbies. They don't get politics.

Now they understand people really want to see some progress on this issue...
