They've already laid off a lot of personnel at the Immigration Service, so how will they have the manpower to do this kind of review anyway? Meanwhile these immigrants and legal green card holders are living in fear that something dire will happen, and they're powerless to stop it.
Once a green card is legally issued, what are the chances that it might be revoked later? Maybe this is just more sabre-rattling that won't amount to much....
