US Immigration

Shouldn't U.S. Citizens' needs come first in their own country?
I propose U.S. Congress supports a bill also making an Immigrant Waiver available to U.S. Citizens' Alien Immediate Relatives deported with criminal convictions amounting to more than one count of 30 grams of marijuana so that U.S. Citizens may successfully petition for and claim or re-claim their Alien spouse, child or parent and so that Immigrant Aliens may also reintegrate in U.S. society. Presently, U.S. Citizens are able to petition for and claim these Immediate Relatives but not successfully because U.S. Immigration doesn't pardon Immigrants' criminal convictions amounting to more than one count of 30 grams of marijuana, only those of Non-Immigrants who are practicing professionals and have a U.S. job offer. The way things are now U.S. Citizens with Alien Immediate Relatives are being discriminated against by their own government. The needs of deported Aliens with criminal convictions are being placed before their own.
The U.S. government's violation of my civil human rights to liberty, freedom of expression and equal treatment under the law of all people regarding enjoyment of life, guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, is unwarranted. My liberty to exercise the right to petition without government (or even private) interference or restraints, given to the people by the First Amendment to the Constitution is being discriminated against. I am not receiving fair treatment.
