A Mexican Is Here On A Green Card Only And Can Legaly Buy Property Here In The U.S?
Does This Mean That Person Can Not Be Made To Leave The U.S. When The Work Card Expires?

A green card is granted to those with permanent resident status here in the US. By rights granted by the US government, people with a green card have access to a social security number, legal status to buy and sell any possessions here in the US, including but not limited to cars, real estate, boats, airplanes, shares, stocks and bonds, businesses, etc.
I am a permanent resident with a green card, not a US citizen, but I legally own a car, and am planning to buy a small duplex soon, the fact that I only have a permanent resident's card matters not in such an affair, I do not need to be a citizen to own property in this country.

Holding a green card means the person is most likely than not going to reside in the U.S. and not go back to their country of origin. My husband currently holds a green card and has a house, a business and a car. You should not have that only word behind because a green card is close to citizenship only you can not vote!

Owning property has nothing to do with eligibility to become a citizen or staying in the country, though it can help you get certain visas.
...however, holding a green card means you have immigrant status which means that after 5 years, barring a criminal conviction, you can become a citizen. Further, once you have a green card, you can generally renew it indefinitely.

Once they have a green card, they have already crossed any and all red tape.

Why does it matter if a Mexican is buying property in the U.S.? Why can't everyone buy property in the U.S.? As long as they earned the money to buy the property, I think its fine.

The only right he does not have is the right to vote.
Why is it any of your business if he buys property or not?
Those people work the jobs that no one else wants to do. They work hard and want the best for their families.

Owning property offers no special entitlements

He could by as much as he wants he would still have to go back. The only problem is the gov. rarely seems to enforce the rules.
