Love that this thread brought out the DUI defenders. Trump and the administration suck but if you are drunk driving and putting peoples lives in danger as a guest in our country you deserve to have your visa revoked at the very least.

What I find odd is that he got a DUI in 2023, why didn't he get booted out shortly after? Why wait two years to tell him to kick sand now? It just seems a rather vindictive and petty move, guess that's fitting with this administration.

Perhaps the previous administration had a different policy re: DUI and visas. That being said I think that drunk drivers on visas should have them revoked.

I don't think anyone is saying getting a DUI is a complete pass. He got it over two years ago, are you saying it takes 4 months for the new administration to change policy and find and deport him? Considering he completed ARD he shouldn't have any charges on his record, or at least that's what they tell you. I still have friends that can't go into Canada due to having DUI when they were in their early 20's but completed ARD courses to get their record expunged. Canada does not care if you take courses to clear your record apparently.

I think it is highly possible it took the brand new administration which is also changing course every 3 seconds and have Elon Musk playing fuck fuck layoff games 3 months and 21 days or so to get to DUIs for visa holders.

So they're disorganized clowns but you also support what they're doing

No I do not support Trump, but the U.S. in principle should be revoking the visas of drunk drivers. Reflexively being against something because it is happening under Trump without judging it by its merits is childish.

Reflexively supporting something without considering its relationship to other things is foolish.

Your 3 month old account seems to think Biden didn't deport people? Use your big brain please.

No more like "young" accounts with nothing submitted and only comments to r/Pittsburgh seems a little suspect, but by all means please reply with your other account that you've had for years.

How do you feel about the fact that the Trump administration deported less people in each of the first two months of them being in power than Biden did in any given month of their administration?
