Because the people who had bombs dropped on them were bad people, but the people being held at the border are good immigrants.

We could spend endless hours debating the the gray areas of warfare, but that discussion aside, that is essentially the answer to your question.

This, grandparent post is textbook whataboutism.

It's not textbook whataboutism. It's a tu quoque.

So more than 500,000 Iraqi's killed were all bad people?

[sampo]

I don't think US has killed 500,000 Iraqis. Most of them were killed by other Iraqis in sectarian violence.

I can't speak for GP, but telling a guest that they are no longer welcome doesn't seem like a moral issue at all, while killing someone definitely is, regardless of how good or bad the people are.

Greencard holders aren't guests. Telling them they're not welcome means kicking them out of their homes.

[Amezarak]

If you're not a citizen, whatever the country, you're a guest. It would be absolutely terrible to be a resident for years and then told you're no longer welcome, but I don't think it is a moral issue.

If I invite someone to live with me and they stay for ten years, it is not evil for me to kick them out afterwards.

[wtetzner]

A "Permanent Resident" is permanent. That's not a guest any longer. And if kicking someone out of their home isn't a moral issue, I don't know what is.

> If I invite someone to live with me and they stay for ten years

If you sign a contract saying they're allowed to live with you for ten years, and kick them out after 3 years, I would argue that it is evil (not to mention illegal).
