The better question is: shouldn\u2019t any illegal alien caught by law enforcement be deported?<\/p>\n<p>Instead of that happening, it seems many such individuals occupy our federal prisons.<\/p>\n<p>According to CNN, \u201cduring fiscal year 2021 some 72% of federal offenders in a case of marijuana possession were non-citizens.\u201d However, it should be noted that data doesn\u2019t differentiate between those unlawfully present in the U.S. and those legally here, such as green card holders.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, an immigration attorney told CNN that simple marijuana possession charges could prevent individuals from finding safe harbor in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re in deportation proceedings or applying for a visa or applying [sic] green card, and you\u2019re charged for possession, you will be denied. And you won\u2019t be eligible for a waiver,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou could be denied a green card and you would be denied for life,\u201d the attorney noted.<\/p>\n<p>If all the illegal aliens caught having a bit of weed in their back pockets were deported, that would spell bad news for AOC and her colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>Illegal immigrants, as well as potheads, are key demographics for the Democratic voting bloc, it would seem.<\/p>\n<p>AOC\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/ocasio-cortez.house.gov\/legislation\/immigration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a> claims, \u201cIt is beyond time for a path to citizenship for all undocumented people in our country.\u201d Of course, \u201call undocumented people\u201d would suggest AOC wants citizenship for every illegal alien in the U.S., including those convicted of far worse crimes than marijuana charges \u2014 murder, rape, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Vice President Kamala Harris is also intent on creating millions of new citizens out of those who entered the country unlawfully.<\/p>\n<p>Just last month, Harris <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/kamala-has-lost-her-gourd-veep-claims-border-is-secure-yet-blames-trump-for-crisis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> NBC\u2019s Chuck Todd that we needed to solve the border crisis by putting \u201cinto place a law and a plan for a pathway for citizenship for the millions of people who are here and are prepared to do what is legally required to gain citizenship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even if that plan never happens, folks in D.C.\u2019s city government are currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/dc-council-advances-bill-allowing-noncitizens-vote\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">advancing<\/a> a bill that would allow \u201cnon-citizens\u201d the right to vote.<\/p>\n<p>So around the nation, the Democratic Party seems intent on expanding the voting pool through pardons, as well as mass amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. You don\u2019t have to be a political scientist to suspect the Democrats are advancing those goals because they think doing so will help members of their party get elected to power.<\/p>\n<p>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We can\u2019t have equal justice under the law until illegal aliens busted with simple pot possession receive a presidential pardon, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) believes.
