Just a note that green card holders are residents, not citizens. They don’t get to vote, they just get to pay taxes.
Still potential for abuse of course, but an important distinction.
- dragonwriter 4y ago> Just a note that green card holders are residents, not citizens. While there are time and other requirements after getting lawful permanent resident status (“green card”), the main limitation on access to citizenship is getting status in an immigrant category and thereby becoming an LPR.
- jnwatson 4y agoThe citizens of Washington DC (or the other U.S. territories) don't have voting representation in Congress, but it isn't a potential for abuse. The difference between H1B and permanent resident is massive. Residents aren't beholden on their employer to remain in the country.
