Of course, readers might be thinking, shouldn’t illegal immigrants convicted of federal marijuana possession just be deported? The better question is: shouldn’t any illegal alien caught by law enforcement be deported?
Instead of that happening, it seems many such individuals occupy our federal prisons.
According to CNN, “during fiscal year 2021 some 72% of federal offenders in a case of marijuana possession were non-citizens.” However, it should be noted that data doesn’t differentiate between those unlawfully present in the U.S. and those legally here, such as green card holders.
Regardless, an immigration attorney told CNN that simple marijuana possession charges could prevent individuals from finding safe harbor in the U.S.
“If you’re in deportation proceedings or applying for a visa or applying [sic] green card, and you’re charged for possession, you will be denied. And you won’t be eligible for a waiver,” he said.
“You could be denied a green card and you would be denied for life,” the attorney noted.
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.
Illegal immigrants, as well as potheads, are key demographics for the Democratic voting bloc, it would seem.

Perhaps she can dress up as a “showgirl” and meet them on the Las Vegas Strip.
Stick all the pothead illegals in HER neighborhood. Oh, wait, she doesn’t want THAT either.
A pardon with a one way ticket to Guatemala.
Those are her “peeps”.
Wonder how many pothead illegal aliens spend the night at her house?.
We saw your note on the pot shop bulletin board.
For the nonviolent drug mules and runners, commute the sentences, collect their biometric data, send them home and bar them from ever coming back. For the violent offenders, get a commitment from their home countries to serve out their sentences and have foreign aid/cooperation tied to strict adherence to the arrangements.
Also... use the newly freed up space to process illegal border crossers dping things like identity theft, driving without a license, jumping warrants, and failure to appear in a similar fashion. Make it quick, make it polite, make it clear.
I’d be down with something like that.
I don't think America should be a "safe harbor" for potheads and dope dealers. "Immigration attorneys" are all a bunch of morons. Hell, they can smoke weed all day long in Mexico. That's the biggest "safe harbor" on the map.

Illegal aliens who commit crimes should be deported AFTER they complete their sentences in the U.S.
None, they were too drunk to walk.
AOC is like all the rest of the democrats side with the parasites losers felons all like a one person Mafia.
