This is unbelievable, even for these xenophobic jackasses.

If nothing else it is less a burden on the US taxpayer than paying for their keep in our currently overcrowed prisons.
In the magnificent "criminal justice reform" bill.
A special pox on the houses of the Repubs getting behind this, oh so cravenly, thinking this will make inroads with minority voters or simply make them seem more "enlightened." Meanwhile, they would never live next to any of the "nonviolent" dope dealers and users who will be released, nevermind the convicted predators who also will inevitably be released.
It's about deporting 5,000 Vietnam & Cambodia criminal aliens. It has been ongoing for years, long before Trump presidency. I can give one of many examples in Obama years that's pretty well known among immigrant circle. See the link. It's about Cambodian girl who made drug crime while she was in George Mason University. I learned this story from our church. Yes, no countries in the world are willing to accept their own citizens deported from U.S. So, they always try to find excuse or loophole to either reject or slow down return process.
Every immigrant including me know that even you're a permanent resident, i.e. green card holder, if you make any crime, you will be deported. This U.S. policy has been there for many years. This warning is always given by our churches and our immigration lawyers.

It's just their politics based on that ignorance that does. For example, we immigrants all know "U.S. resident" is the term referred to foreigners, Aliens. The U.S. resident number always start from A, which means Alien, then followed by 9 digit number. In immigrant circle, you can often hear people saying, Zhang is still a resident because he wants to go to back to China after retirement. Wang is just a resident now but she plans to become citizen once her years of resident status reach requirement... We all understand the term U.S. resident means you are foreigner, alien. But, during Khashoggi incident, Chris, Frank and Conor repeated used this term U.S. resident to mislead people who know little immigration.
Conor is worse, twice called Khashoggi a Virginia resident. I know Conor know nothing about immigration. He just followed politicians (Tim" Kaine) and media using it. But, a Virginia resident is a tax term, not immigration term. For example, if you have properties not just in Virginia, but also in Washington state, WA will view you a Washington resident too, not just VA view you as their resident. The term is just for tax purpose. As I said, about 80% of top Chinese officials, their family members are living in foreign countries and have properties, including Huawei's CFO Ms. Meng who has Canada green card and whose 2 daughters are Canada green card holders (Meng's husband is a resident of some country too, unclear which country, perhaps also Canada). You never hear they call Meng a Canada resident. Because a Canada resident is still a foreigner, a Chinese citizen in this case.
It also means the US has more interest in that person than if they were a citizen of another nation, not residing here.
See if you wrap your brain around this. Say you were a refugee from the former Soviet Union with a green card in the U.S. Say also you were a dissident journalist who then got a job with WaPo. Say then an up and coming young KGB officer, let’s call him Vlad from Leningrad came and assasinated you while you were on holiday in the UK on orders of Andropov. Are you seriously telling me that our government wouldn’t have more of an interest in your fate than a Soviet citizen killed domestically in Russia? Are you also telling me that Vlad and crew would have had the right to do that because technically you were still a Soviet citizen?
In other words, stop being an ass.
You exposed so much ignorance on reality in your imaginary story. Please don't try to make an abstract argument, because you're lacking of immigration knowledge. Your narrative can't pass reality check. It's brutal for me to point them one by one. As I warned you before, it's unfair fight.
reporting has become.
The liberals WANT this stuff to be true. Chris ignores all of the facts behind this case because the hard left Atlantic Magazine does not delve into it. It’s really sad that an intelligent man lets bufoons control what he thinks and feels with propaganda.
