[Repeal 16-17]

The provision, 18 USC 16(b) says an immigrant can be deported if he is guilty of "any other offense that is a felony and that, by its nature, involves a substantial risk that physical force against the person or property of another may be used in the course of committing the offense."

Congress should rewrite this provision to say that an immigrant can be deported for a felony regardless of that vague "substantial risk" nonsense.

Bingo. And that’s precisely what Gorsuch suggested in his opinion.

Why didn’t Congress simply say, “ANY FELONY.”

The answer is that Congress likes to play act on immigration but doesn’t want to actually do anything on immigration.
