Yeah, just like Nazi Germany. All of you morons who say that have no idea how offensive it is or how retarded you sound when you diminish what happened during the Nazi reign by comparing it to modern day USA. Oh man, America is deporting a non-US citizen who committed a crime, this is just like how the Nazis killed all of those innocent people. I don't think that he should be deported at all, but get out of your "USA is fascist" bubble and take a reality check. For what it's worth, he should have been smart and applied for citizenship as soon as he could, just like any legal immigrant should, but it's too bad that it caught up to him with a wife and child.

When people compare something with Nazi Germany they usually mean (even without realizing that they do) the early stages after Hitler came into power and especially after the staged burning of the Reichstag. This was when the country became overtly fascist and civil liberties were trod on with an iron boot.

Throwing a criminal who isn't a citizen out of the country surely doesn't violate his civil liberties.

How about throwing out a legal resident of 40+ years with a wife and kid who was convicted 12 years ago of a misdemeanor, served his sentence and finished probation years ago?
