    The crime of wanting a better life and pulling your bootstrap that is.

      Do it legally.

      Is selling meth “wanting a better life and pulling your bootstrap”?

        Actually, yes, because it leaves money. But immigrants aren’t selling meth, though, because that would be a FEDERAL crime and not a CIVIL OFFENSE. Curious comparison. Also, funny way of saying you have never worked a slave-wage job in your life.

        If they are selling method then simple police work is needed to catch them. No need for ICE. Be intellectually honest, you know selling meth isn’t really happening.

    “Improper entry” through illegally crossing a border is a crime, but the majority of undocumented immigrants in the US don’t enter that way. “Unlawful presence” after a visa expires or is denied receives civil penalties rather than criminal, meaning they can’t lead to imprisonment but only fines or a court action like deportation.

      Doubt, especially given what we saw from 2021-early 2025.

        You’re free to go look at the statistics easily found, I’m not gonna do your homework for you. Were you at the border?

    Parking illegally is a crime, bub.

    Not surprised a MAGAt can’t weigh not only the severity of the crime, but the motivations, its consequences, its long history, and overall social impact, and still decide they would rather lick boots instead. Good luck picking all that fruit in Texas, though, champ.
