By the way, I don't want to personalize too much but it sounds to me that you said in a comment (years ago) that you had lived in a communist country. Is that so? If you are an immigrant in the USA I would understand your position more, although you don't have to answer this if you don't want to, of course.
That's correct, and I have dealt with USCIS and other agencies enough to know that what Trump/Vance say about immigration is mostly bullshit. I don't know if my personal experience affects my position on immigration as a whole - I had this view that immigration should be mostly merit-based with sensible quotas for refugees from dangerous places since before I came here or even thought of coming here - but I certainly appreciate the complexity of the issue a lot more now.
The fact that they blatantly say they would deport people who are legally residing in the US (just because they don't like the law) is so absurd that it shouldn't be acceptable in a political campaign but here we are. If they can do that, they can then say "this green card you have was obtained using the law we don't like so we'll deport you too", and also "this citizenship you got is based on the law we don't like so off you go", and also "don't matter that you're born here because we don't like your parents so go to Mexico", and you can tell from the current attitude among their supporters that all of that would be perfectly normal and valid to them.
