The Trump administration's increased scrutiny of green card holders, citing national security and potential foreign policy consequences, raises concerns about the rights of lawful permanent residents. Supporters view it as essential for protecting national security and upholding residency privileges. Opponents argue it undermines due process, chills free speech, and creates fear among law-abiding green card holders. Pro: Tougher enforcement protects national security by ensuring those not fully part of the national community do not pose a threat, as a green card is a privilege, not an inherent right. Agains: Expanded scrutiny erodes due process, allowing deportation without criminal conviction, chilling activism and creating fear among legal residents despite adhering to laws. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
