    Would be hilarious if his absolutely “heinous crime” was an unpaid parking ticket from 20 years ago. Can’t just have those people wandering around breathing US freedom air.

    When asked about it he said, “I thought we were only going to oppress brown people. I’m white. This is completely unacceptable.”

    Landry says he goes to Canada at least once a year and has never had a problem until now.

    What’s different this year? Say it Landry. Say it.

    The man, who supported President Donald Trump though he can’t vote, says he “feels differently” now and blames the administration for his immigration plight.

    “No, don’t hurt me, hurt those other people!”

      Dude isn’t allowed to vote for legalization of marijuana, because he got caught possessing marijuana. Now I’m not sure how democracy is supposed to work, but I’m fairly certain he’s supposed to be able to vote for representatives in a Democratic Republic to legalize such.

    As a Canadian citizen, he couldn’t vote for president, but he supported Donald Trump.

    “I was definitely all for ‘Make America Great Again,’ and having a strong, unified country, and a bright future for my five American children, but now I feel a little differently,” he said. “I’ve been torn from my family. My life has been disregarded completely.”

    And here I was afraid there was no justice left in the world. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

        I still haven’t wrapped my head around this one. Wasn’t birthright enshrined in the constitution? How can it be dismantled?

          They have some nutty interpretation that when the amendment was written the writers didn’t mean for it to apply to everyone. Basically it’s something like the children of noncitizens owe allegiance to the country of their parents, so they don’t count. The bit they’re trying to use is what prevents e.g. children of diplomats from gaining citizenship.

          Because they do what ever they want… it takes years to appeal a single case so they are just steamrolling hundreds and hundreds….

          (And the Supreme Court simply takes a red pen to change whatever they want… )

            Again, how? You can’t take someone’s citizenship away if not through court, right? What excuses are judges using to do that?

              That’s the neat part… ICE doesn’t even have to go through a judge to deport someone. They can just kinda do it… and it’s been an issue for YEARS. Only now they were allowed to go into overdrive, completely unchecked.

              https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/blog/ice-deport-us-citizens/

              So they don’t have to strip citizenship, they just send people to other countries and move on with their day. Then the courts are so swamped with appeals that it’s likely most will just give up and make a new life in the other country.

    In 2004 and 2007, Landry faced charges of marijuana possession and driving with a suspended license, but he says he’s had no criminal record since then.

    Hoo-boy, sounds like he was asking for it, one of them criminals I keep hearing about. Thin blue line, right folks?

      He was clearly an unacceptable danger to society with that kind of record! After all, people who broke laws once, forfeit all their rights, right?

    Canada is almost as right-wing as their neighbour.
    I’m sure he can find many likeminded people there.
