I feel like they’re just trying to reach a quota and not actually do anything concrete.

Clearly a delinquent. Deport him immediately.

Guy’s been arrested and convicted of cocaine possession and two marijuana possession cases. You’d think he’d be a little more careful.

His name is Ramsingh, that is why he was targeted

Hate to say it but he was playing with fire for 30 years by not applying for citizenship.
Technically a green card is not a guarantee of anything and with a felony conviction on his record it could backfire even without Trump in the office.
He could also at least try to get the conviction reduced, although I am not sure how easy that would be.
For those who don’t know, a felony is a serious crime, as opposed to a misdemeanor which is a “light” crime. Having a felony conviction creates problems on many levels.

He should be able to appeal and demonstrate good behavior.

40 years on a green card and committing crimes? He should have applied for citizenship after 5 years, or stayed out of trouble. How is this news. Permanent residents lose their green cards all the time for a million reasons.

The U.S. drug laws have been very tough. Should this count as a felony? Read the article, which includes the following.
But Ramsingh’s only conviction on record is for a 1998 charge related to cocaine possession when he was a teenaged boy in Nebraska, reported ABC 17 in Columbia, Missouri. The arrest took place when he was 17, and he pleaded guilty. The teen “was tried as an adult and found guilty. It was another devastating example of the system failing him: a child, living on the streets, with no representation, no guidance, and no support—pushed through the system and jailed with adults,” a family friend wrote on a Facebook page built to raise awareness about the case.
“We did not know he had been tried as an adult, nor did we know this would ever resurface. It has never affected any of his past green card renewals,” said Samantha Gage Bryan. Ramsingh was also ticketed for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana in Nebraska, and paid a 100-dollar fine in 2000, according to the broadcaster.
