And those who enter the country illegally: where is their respect for the law and where was their acceptance of due process in entering the country? They broke the laws while others did it the legal way.
When you break the law and you don't submit to the legal system you are a criminal.
- defrost 9mo ago> When you break the law and you don't submit to the legal system you are a criminal. Weird take when ICE are infamous for staking out courthouses and scooping up people working their way through applications and appeals. Further, undocumented aliens in the US are guilty of civil infractions not criminal felonies .. these are a seperate issue altogether. * https://www.aclu.org/sites/default/files/field_document/FINAL_criminalizing_undocumented_immigrants_issue_brief_PUBLIC_VERSION.pdf https://www.aclu.org/sites/default/files/field_document/FINA... * https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/fact-sheet/debunking-myth-immigrants-and-crime/ https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/fact-sheet/debunk... Perhaps consider getting a clue about this rather than repeating falsehoods.
- giardini 9mo agothanks! From the first URL you provided: "Entering the United States without being inspected and admitted, i.e., illegal entry, is a misdemeanor or can be a felony, depending on the circumstances. 8 U.S.C. § 1325." Q.E.D.
- dragonwriter 9mo agoBeing in the US without legal status does not require illegal entry, because legal entry does not automatically come with permanent status. Being undocumented is a civil/administrative matter, not a crime, though some of the undocumented may also have committed crimes.
