Believe me, I know first hand how that goes.

Overwhelmingly affects legal immigrants serving in the military/gov't (aka.

It only affects non-citizens serving in the U.S. military and gov't, most of which are in fact Hispanic.
Conservatives can justify it however they want, but it's a targeted, racist, change.
