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.
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.

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 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).
