There are Rules That Come With Green Cards

And there are consequences for breaking those rules. William Teach at Pirate's Cove has a story of consequences. Bummer: ICE Detains Wisconsin Woman In Los Angeles

So, let’s say you are applying for citizenship, going through all the steps, paying all that money, and then you break the law. Do you know what happens? Well, you lose your citizenship journey. You go back to your home country.

And low and behold a green card holder, who has held a green card for a long time, was arrested for drugs. She wasn't deported. But she left the country and was stopped when coming back into the country in Los Angeles.

Her 2014 conviction was not grounds for deportation, said Marc Christopher, a Milwaukee immigration attorney representing Wihongi. “She can remain here and become a U.S. citizen,” he said, “but once she crosses the border, she’s governed by the rules of admissibility.”

But back to William Teach.

Foreign felons, including if they committed the crimes in the U.S., are usually not admissible to the United States. And, of course, the news has to make it about all of them.
