      Is that hypothetical or are you saying that right now, people are being denied us citizenship if they have a speeding ticket? Cause I was pretty sure anything minor like that pretty much wouldn’t count, not sure if things have changed

        Things have changed. One person lost a green card because they got a “too many fish” citation while not fishing, but being with a group of people who were fishing.

        One student had their visa revoked by the US because they were the victim of domestic violence. It’s batshit insane what they current administration is doing.

    The problem with this is on who exactly decides long term on which crimes qualify.

    Once established it’s simply a matter of extending the list of crimes to encompass whomever they want

        Jaywalking is a fake crime made up by car company lobbies to criminalize anything being on the road that isn’t a car.

        Bitch ass car peddlers trying to criminalize my natural way of moving…

      The plans, hatched by Sweden’s rightwing government with support of its far-right backers, made waves around the world.

      This one’s a European homebrew.
