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

So what. He is a veteran. A purple heart recipient. He belongs in this country. Jail if he broke the law, sure, deportation is just wrong.
 
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 votes.

Sorry but claiming he didn’t **** up is simply ignoring reality.

{sigh}.

Reagan: “There is no such thing as GRID (eventually called HIV), and if there is it’s a “gay disease”.

Trump: “This COVID thing is nonsense. It will be over with when the flu season ends.”

Lots of Presidents deny, deny, deny then do a 180. It’s not that unusual.

At least he admitted he needed to fix it at some point. I give Trump the same credit for eventually pushing “Operation Warp Speed” when he finally realized COVID was real.

I don’t treat the tribes, neither of which I belong to, differently. I am NOT a partisan.
 
There are few principles of citizenship older or more established in tradition than the notion that honorably completing military service for a country should give you citizenship. This isn't a Heinlein thing - it dates back to "SPQR" and no doubt further. While he may not have claimed that citizenship right away, he ought to have retained the ability to do so.

Drug problems? Sure. A lot of people have that. ESPECIALLY people who have been traumatized in combat fighting for the United States of America! Deal with it, fix it, forgive it.
 
Be aware that he was a Catholic but is no longer a Christian. A person who thinks "Let's Go Brandon!" is cool is not a Christian. A person who has sworn loyalty to Donald over Jesus Christ is not a Christian. A person who is physically turned on by calling people "libruls" is not a Christian. No, those are the hallmarks of a person who cosplays a Christian online.
It's funny that liberals are way more Christ-like than MAGAs.
 
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
He earned citizenship long before any criminal activity.

You never earned citizenship.

You are claiming that based on his military service, then you follow with the nonsense below.
You never earned citizenship.
So, my military service counts for nothing?????
 
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.
He stated he started using illegal drugs in 1995 and then went to jail for cocaine and skipping bail in 2009. How many laws do you think he broke in that time period. Sure seems like a bunch to me.


So again we are back to the left claiming in on thread to the only support deporting illegals of they have broken additional laws to now in this thread charging that to only if they broke specific laws at certain time periods.
Must be nice to just be able to constantly move the goal posts depending on what illegal you are currently supporting.

Talking about others knowing very little coming from you is hilarious. Have you forgotten your ridiculous made up bs you posted the gun control section. lol give me a break.

I am currently serving and have been for almost 20 years. Have spent entire years of my life deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan
Serving does not give you a free pass to ignore the laws of this country.
So seeing as you haven’t you should probably admit you lack the stones and keep your opinion to yourself. But let me guess. That’s different right?

Yeah such nonsense to show that no one is above the law. I can remember way back in history when that used to be the lefts rallying cry. Strange how quickly that changed.
 
You are claiming that based on his military service, then you follow with the nonsense below.

I don't believe you when you say you served, sorry. Real veterans care more about other veterans than this.

So even if true? Yes, your military service counts for nothing, because you learned nothing from it. You abandoned your oath.
 
Dude, that makes your opinion WAY worse.

You want brothers in arms deported.

That's totally ****ed up.
When he broke the law and served time in prison, he violated the conditions of his green card. The law is the law. It applies to all who hold green cards. What if he had committed bank robbery or murder. Would you excuse that as well because he served in the military?

Is that like the law that Trump voided when he released all the Jan6th assholes who sat before juries, had fair trials and were convicted?

That kinda law that gets voided before they serve their time for their crimes?

Wow that’s one of the more pathetic attempts at defection I have seen in a while. Well done.

So he didn’t **** up but needed to do a 180 just because huh.
Your desperation is showing. And it is not a good look.

Wait so is no one above the law like you were bleating before, or is it only people that snuck into this country illegal are above the law.

Watching the far left try and have it both ways is hilarious. And you wonder why no one takes you seriously.
 
I don't believe you when you say you served, sorry. Real veterans care more about other veterans than this.
What you believe or do not believe does not matter. If this was not anonymous talkboard, I would show you two forms of ID in my wallet that show me as a veteran. One of them is accepted by the TSA as an alternative to a real ID or passport, If I did not have one or the other.
So even if true? Yes, your military service counts for nothing, because you learned nothing from it. You abandoned your oath.
All because I do not agree with you that a criminal illegal should get a pass from self-deportation because of military service? I am getting the impression that you do not really care the individual's veteran status. You simply do not want any illegals deported whatsoever.

Wow. I was literally demonstrating how that poster wants it both ways and SWOOOOOSSSHHHHHH right over your head.
