Don't be too positive though - if the TSA think you really love the USA then you might want to move there. You need to write a bot that tweets 'I love the USA

  > 'I love the USA but wouldn't want to live there' I have a work colleague who has a green card but lives in the UK. He gets questioned on it every time he goes through US customs. Essentially, the very idea that someone would choose not to live in the US is considered suspicious.

Green card is the colloquial name for the "Permanent Resident Card". As the name implies, you're supposed to live in the US if you hold this card. Your colleague may be flying under the radar but he's probably violating the conditions required to maintain a green card and might lose it in the future: https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/after-green-card-granted/maintaining-permanent-residence https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/after-green-card-granted/ma... "You may also lose your permanent resident status by intentionally abandoning it. You may be found to have abandoned your status if you: Move to another country, intending to live there permanently. Remain outside of the United States for an extended period of time, unless you intended this to be a temporary absence. (...)"

      > Green card is the colloquial name for the "Permanent Resident Card". Agreed. If caught he could get in trouble and have it revoked.
