“The [Supreme] Court’s treatment of resident aliens [ ] rests upon pragmatic recognition that [permanent] resident aliens are similarly situated to citizens in their economic, social, and civic (as opposed to political) conditions.... Like citizens, [permanent] resident aliens may not be deported, are entitled to reside permanently in the United States, may serve, voluntarily or by conscription, in the military, are entitled to state aid benefits, and pay taxes on the same bases as citizens.”

Ellison v. Connor, 153 F.3d 247, 254-55 (5th Cir. 1998). However, strict adherence to the standing doctrine may be excused when a policy’s flat prohibition would render submission futile. Ellison, 153 F.3d at 255 (citing Moore v. United States Dept. of Agric., 993 F.2d 1222 (5th Cir. 1993)).”
