Even with Green Cards, Immigrants Can Be Deported Under New Guidelines
Source: Miami Herald
A green card is no longer an immigrant's insurance policy against deportation. Documented immigrants can now be deported from the United States if they break the rules of federal and state programs that offer public benefits to immigrants.
