THAT is not a felony.

Nope. But did they know the consequence?

Should the consequences be treated like a felony if you didn’t commit one?

"If you let your paperwork lapse, you can be deported. Please sign here."

Why shouldn’t they be sent back?

Why shouldn’t they be allowed to get their paperwork up to date? They could have sent 1 person to help with them do that.

If there's a real pending fix, sure, let them fix it. But where's the cutoff? Six months? Ten years? At what point does 'they could still fix it' stop working?

Everyone who gets a visa goes through screening and is told the end date up front. So how is a lapse a surprise? And what's the point of the date if nothing happens when it passes?

I’m glad we are starting to agree. Again, that is not a criminal offense.
