Purple heart recipient deported after 48 years in U.S.

[JOSweetHeart]

​

A Purple Heart recipient, Sae Joon Park, who had lived in the U.S. for 48 years, was deported to South Korea after facing charges related to drug possession and failure to appear in court. These charges stemmed from untreated post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which he developed after being shot in combat during the 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama. Despite being a green card holder and receiving a Purple Heart for his bravery, his criminal record prevented him from obtaining citizenship or relief from deportation. ​

If his drug charges are his more recent activity, that right there is what got him deported. Anything commendable in his past may not be relevant enough.

God bless you always!!!

I don't mind getting booted to S. Korea. What's to hate?

Higher standards of living
Superior quality of life
Very low crime rate
No DEI

This guy is not a criminal. He is a war hero who served the country and took a bullet for America. That's something Donald Trump never did. Yet this guy gets deported. Trump, convicted of 34 felonies, is the president. This country is going in the wrong direction.



This is bs.

Yes, he is a criminal or he would already be a citizen.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

for serving is he not considered a naturalized citizen?..

No.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Oops, there's my answer. Still, the guy turned his life around, served the country and was even shot for our country.

Surely he deserves citizenship if anyone does.

He's a criminal. End of story.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I disagree. Service to your country should be the quickest path to citizenship. He put his life on the line, he deserves to be in this country.

He lost that right when he committed a crime.

He's also a hero.

Dude, he self deported

Getting shot does not mean he is a hero. He did at least show up!

He served. Drug charges mean nothing to me.

And these are kind of laws we need to be looking at and make common sense exemptions for. There are always going to be cases like this with existential circumstances that don't fit perfectly into the framework of the law. There needs to be common sense applied to these cases.

You got that one right. If we want some exceptions to these laws and regulations about deportation and ineligibility for relief from deportation, where the alien has served in our armed forces, we should go ahead and get our legislators to write the law for that.

My recommendation is that if any alien serves in our military and earns an honorable discharge, she or he should immediately be put to the top of the list for naturalization (provided we do proper vetting in all other respects).

Neither one of those stats are true.

Did you notice that countries with very high quality of life always prioritize the needs and well being of the citizens.

IM2 doesn’t like the whole truth being told.

 

[Seymour Flops]

So does the OP propose a law stating that if an immigrant serves in the military, he or she will be allowed ot remain in the country even if they commit crimes?

What happened to "give them due process, and then deport them?"

IM2, what happened to "When a jury says you are guilty, then you are a criminal?"

It would be nice to be able to pick and choose which laws to follow, wouldn't it OP?

Why not Trump does it.

No, you are apparently dementia-ridden. You should have your vote taken away.
