What's the meaning of this part? What's an example of a person filtered out by this criterion?
> This pardon does not apply to individuals who were non-citizens not lawfully present in the United States at the time of their offense.
Is this about detaining (vs deporting) illegal immigrants?
- mitch3x3 4y agoA very large percentage of federal possession cases are drug smuggling at border crossings. This amendment is to keep those people locked up since their initial charge of “possession” was chosen over illegal border crossing or whatever else since it was probably a) easier to prosecute, and b) carried a harsher sentence
- lukas099 4y agoMaybe meant to exclude drug traffickers/cartel folks who could only be charged with simple possession for reasons.
- ntr-- 4y agoIt means > Don't fuckin' come here and ignore the rules
- rolph 4y agonon citizen not lawfully present, to me means someone that snuck over, or talked thier way over lying about thier intentions. I get an impression from that verbiage there would be such a class as non citizen >lawfully present< at the time of offense, that would qualify.
