@_alexjoshua @sdACLU @HispanicCaucus @nathanfletcher @RepLouCorrea @JoaquinCastrotx @RepBarragan @RepJuanVargas @RepRaulGrijalva @Vicentecongress @RepLujanGrisham They are LPRs. If they are convicted of a crime after returning (ex. many vets use drugs to cope) they lose LPR status & are deported

If you serve our country, you should not be deported. Last week, I introduced three bills to help #DeportedVeterans: https://t.co/Zx75NXGWVm

These #DeportedVeterans served our country honorably, but were dishonorably deported. Bring our @DeportedVets back! https://t.co/oiVLUS8hMj

That said, we agree that military service ought to be a path to #citizenship. https://t.co/eRUwsLSYay @havasunews #deportedvets #immigration

[Deported Vets Film @DeportedVets]

Though one can argue their criminal histories are a result of the mental health & economic struggles they face after serving in the military

[Deported Vets Film @DeportedVets]

Most #deportedvets lose their legal status when they are convicted of a felony after returning to the U.S. after their service

[Deported Vets Film @DeportedVets]

Vast majority of #deportedvets were never “illegal immigrants.” They were legal permanent residents - green card holders who grew up in US.

[Deported Vets Film @DeportedVets]

But the .@havasunews column gets an important fact wrong and should be corrected. https://t.co/eRUwsLSYay

[Deported Vets Film @DeportedVets]

.@havasunews argues that #deportedvets deserve citizenship. We agree and appreciate the sentiment.
