What about resident alien CFIs? If you can't trust resident alients to
get flight training, how can you allow them to give flight training?

What about the resident aliens who do not have a current passport or
visa?

How comfortable are you about handing over your birth certificate,
passports and citizenship documents to an instructor who has no address
(lives in the hangar), has been in prison, is a drunk and has a gambling
problem?

This ruling has so many holes, it is amazing it got implemened.

I have sevral issues with this rule...

1) How do Citizens prove that they are if they were not born in the
US, ie: 1st generation Citizens.

2) This rule treats Green Card holders no different from Visa holders,
are we saying the policy of issuing Green Cards is so lax and insecure
that they must be treated this way?

3) I doubt as a Green Card holder i'll get any CFI or Flight School to
touch me now. There goes hopes of getting my IFR cert.

4) This will impact the GA economy

Nice to see the AOPA considers itself only a body for Citizens and not
their non-Citizen members. I may well cancel my membership
