It's about humans doing illegal acts.
- code_duck 8y agoRight. So when a human commits an illegal act, such a a misdemeanor visa overstay, that doesn’t make the person ‘an illegal’ anymore than you become ‘an illegal’ because you habitually speed in your car.
- mikeash 8y agoNitpick: unauthorized entry is a misdemeanor, but visa overstay is just a civil offense. This makes the comparison to speeding even more apt, of course.
- code_duck 8y agoThank you. I’m not a lawyer, but I’m positive be average person using the term “illegals” to refer to individuals of questionable immigration status understands less about the law than I and certainly less about morality.
