What's the difference between a green card and a nationality?

1. Permanent residents are foreign immigrants, and they have no nationality or citizenship.

2. The permanent residency of permanent residents is an immigration benefit granted by the state, which can be revoked by the state. The nationality holder is a local citizen, who enjoys the welfare granted by the state at birth, and the state cannot revoke his nationality.

3. Permanent residents enjoy the same welfare and treatment as their own nationals, but have no right to vote and stand for election.

4. Permanent resident holders must maintain their permanent resident status, and if they no longer meet certain conditions required by their status, the holders may lose their status.
