ICE forces U.S. Army Purple Heart veteran to deport—after taking 2 bullets in combat.

I sympathize with what he has gone through however when you just post tidbits from social media, you are not telling the entire story. He does have a criminal record.

“Drugs had a big control throughout my life and that’s what eventually got me into trouble with the law and everything,” Park said.

In 2009, he was convicted of drug and bail offenses and served two and a half years in prison. When he was released, ICE agents detained him and revoked his green card."

He self-deported. That may at some point give him the chance to come back and remain legally

You knew there was a big chunk of the story missing in the OP.
 
That’s sort of dishonest.

Biden didn’t F it up. We had a bipartisan bill to fix it, at least as well as Congress can fix anything these days, but the Republicans turned in it and killed it because Trump told them to. He wanted it still an issue so he could run on immigration
Pretending like he didn’t **** it up when he spent the first three years of his term not only pretending like it wasn’t a problem but doing damn near everything in his power to get more people into this country under “asylum” while also ignoring the number of people coming in illegally is simply either lying or a ridiculous level of ignorance.

His last ditch effort once his staff realized that the illegal immigration problem was going to cost him votes, wasn’t enough to fool the majority of Americans. But clearly it fooled you.
 
No one said that it was. I think the country should give him grace because his problems started because of his deployment. But, your attitude is typical of conservatives - idealistic expectations and then disdain for not living up to the ideal.
Have that baby! You can't have food stamps!
Serve your country! Deal with the service induced mental illness!
Free speech! Burning the flag is wrong!
The far left.
Only illegals who have committed crimes other then just being in this country illegally, should be deported.

Also the far left: yeah I know he committed crimes other then just being in this country illegally, but he still shouldn’t be deported.

And the far left wonders why so few people take them seriously when they say they don’t spot illegal immigration.
 
No, the only oath you have sworn and maintain fealty to is the one to defend Donald's honor at all costs.
You really have that TDS thing bad, huh?
That will always come first for you. If Donald tells you that some random group is eating cats, you will defend his claim.
Actually, I posted videos making fun of that statement. But then, I am not a single issue voter.
. If Donald tells you that some common device causes cancer or attracts sharks, you will defend his claim.
Really? When did he do that????
If Donald tells you to be un-Christian and call somebody a name, you will happily abandon any Christian values you may once have been taught, and happily demonize and villainize whatever targets Donald gave to you.
Acute TDS.
He is your Everything.
I think you are just butthurt that despite everything your librul democrat party had thrown at him, he is now serving a second term. 😁

And here we have another post from a conservative filled with logical fallacies.

I’m not saying Biden did it the way I wanted. I’m saying to ascribe it as a #### up compared to what Congress was doing for decades and multiple administrations before his is a stretch. Unless you say we’ve been F’ing up immigration for decades, through multiple Congresses and Presidents of BOTH parties. Then I’ll agree with you.
 
Endlessly repeating a justification that's been dismantled is weak trolling. Have a good one.
Watching the far left go from one thread claiming that a person shouldn’t be deported because they have not broken any laws other then coming into this country illegally to the very next thread claiming well yeah he broke a bunch of other laws as well but he should still get to stay makes it very hard to believe then when they claim they don’t support illegal immigration.


The funniest part is they honestly think they are fooling anyone.
 
If not for the criminal record, I would have been okay with granting him citizenship for his military service.
There was 20 years between the military service and the criminal record. So that's 20 years in which we can both agree he SHOULD have been granted citizenship. We can't go back in time and change that injustice, but we COULD choose not to compound the injustice by stripping away his green card over a technicality.
 
And here we have another post from a conservative filled with logical fallacies.
You should probably stop using words you don’t one the meaning of. I get that doing so will greatly reduce your ability to post here but it also would make you look a lot less foolish.

And the sick part is they are attempting to evoke sympathy because he is a veteran. They do not really care about that. They simply do not want any illegals deported.

Lots of people in America have a drug problem.

He should stay here and get the care he needs. He's earned it.

Don't you agree?

Once again proving right wingers absolutely do not care about the difference between legal and illegal immigration. They don't want any immigrants of any kind.

This man was here legally. His legal status was revoked after the fact.
 
There are no medical facilities and rehab programs in South Korea?
So you're saying he didn't earn a right to medical care in America? Taking two bullets for you wasn't enough?

Yeah, even greater cruelty from the right. The man earned the right to some medical care here in America.

Now you are taking your attempts at projection to the level of outright falsehoods. I have posted many times over the years that I am quite okay with legal immigrants. I have known and worked with some of them. They work hard, start businesses, obey our laws and contribute. They understand and appreciate what many librul citizens take for granted.
 
So you're saying he didn't earn a right to medical care in America? Taking two bullets for you wasn't enough?
He absolutely earned the right to medical care in America and received it. He also broke many of our laws and served prison time, which revoted his legal status to be here.

He didn’t “break a bunch of other laws” according to the article. He failed to show up in court and he was in possession of narcotics for his own use.

Lots of addicts have that record. Not all of them served their country., though I’m sure some have. Got two bullet holes in them in that service. Get their life straight with 14 years sobriety and do the right things since then.

We can’t be sure how much that service, those injuries, contributed to that drug addiction as well. Could be that drug history is an additional wound caused by his service.

You guys say a lot knowing very little about what you’re talking about.

I’m not claiming others on “the other side” don’t do the same, but that they do doesn’t excuse your doing it. Especially when you’re talking about someone who served, placing their life on the line, in your interest.

Did you serve? Have you ever put others life before your own. I’m not talking about, “I put my kids lives before mine.” A) You’re suppose to and B) it’s not your literal life. I mean choose to make your living where you could lose your life in service to others.

If you haven’t, and the vast majority of us haven’t, in my opinion you have some stones thinking you have a right to comment.

IF it is as depicted this nonsense of deporting this guy at this point is bullshit. It ought to be called out as such. Reall long, and real hard.

Every right winger says this, but in practice it's absolutely not true.

You'll take any excuse to deport anyone here legally, you repeatedly call legal asylum seekers "illegals," you resist absolutely every single effort to make legal immigration easier, faster, or more accessible, you want to reduce the number of legal immigrants instead of increase it, you resist any effort to legalize anyone here already. You latch onto every right wing smear campaign about immigrants, including dumb shit like Haitians eating dogs. (and you called them illegals too). You're fine with the Trump administration looking for absolutely any reason to revoke legal status from legal immigrants, including typos on an immigration form.

Including, as this thread shows, a military veteran who served this country and later developed a drug problem. (WHICH IS OFTEN RELATED TO MILITARY SERVICE) A decent human being sees that man and thinks he earned treatment and we should help him, that he should already be a citizen. You? You just do what every "Christian" on the right does. "**** em, not my problem. They have clinics in South Korea!!"

You're not fooling anyone. You're against legal immigration too.

He should already be a citizen. He earned it. More than can be said of you.

Sorry but claiming that it was just business as usual, when Biden let in more illegals than any other president in history by a large percentage, is not the convincing argument you think it is.

And the fact that Biden went from pretending there was no problem at the border to trying to push through a massive border security bill in his last year shows that even he realized just how much he screwed up.
Remember when he at first tried to claim there was nothing the president could do. Then when that didn’t work actually put some effort into slowing illegal immigration.
Or how he lifted numerous trump policies regarding the border when he took office only to institute many similar policies at the end of his term after he realized how upside down he was with regards to immigration he was with most voters.

Sorry but claiming he didn’t **** up is simply ignoring reality. It’s pretty clear even Biden realized he ****ed up. But keep pretending otherwise. It’s good for a laugh.

Without his criminal record, I would have gladly granted him citizenship. However, after he left the service, he made some very bad choices. And why are you suggesting I have not earned my citizenship? I was born here, obeyed all the laws, never been arrested, and served three years in the military

I am sorry if me pointing out the fact that you don’t actually understand the meaning of the words you are using offends you. Maybe next time spend a few minutes googling the meaning of words you are unsure of.

But crying about it now isn’t going to help you.
