Of course. You don't want the exception swallowing the rule. But in this case, it's fucking retarded.
The whole 'let's deport immigrants for voting' crap smacks of congress hoping to keep plenary power over immigration, of which, there's very little constitutional textual support. (But plenty of case law where the Supreme Court lets congress get away with murder. For example, saying LPRs don't have first amendment rights....)
Put it this way, 'a discrete and insular minority is powerless to check the total power congress has over them.'
Take my word for it. Our immigration law is *very* illogical.
