So do you support invalidating the citizenship of Elon Musk and Melania Trump because they both worked without authorization while on student and tourist visas?



You misinterpret me for someone in support of aggressive immigration policies: I am more in favour of EU-style globally open borders.

But the law should either be applied to everyone equally, or overturned to not be applied at all. "Equally" does not mean you do not account for each individual case's specifics — I was responding to a comment saying there was a "right and wrong way" to apply a law (if it's applied the "wrong way", then law is not applied at all).

I am in favour of abolishing any detention for "illegal immigrants" who agree to voluntary deportation.

Also note that I am not a US citizen, so this is just personal opinion.
