Here you go, kiddo. https://www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/criminal-defense/is-illegal-immigration-a-crime-improper-entry-v-unlawful-presence/ Unlawful entry is a crime. Unlawful presence is not a crime. It’s a civil violation. |
Hey, Skippy. Reading is fundamental. Poster 1: Illegal immigration is a crime. Poster 2: A civil violation, not a crime. The citation I posted proved Poster 2 WRONG. Illegal immigration IS a crime. |
The issue is he was arrested for causing a disturbance in a hotel room in Georgia. Thomas and his girlfriend, Malone, were visiting her family in Savannah, Georgia, when Thomas suffered a mental health episode, he and Malone recalled. The two had a conflict in their hotel room and someone overheard it and called the police, they said. Malone, who requested to use her middle name to protect her boyfriend’s identity, said she was hoping officers would get him treatment and did not want to see him face criminal charges. But police took him to jail, accusing him of “falsely imprisoning” his girlfriend in the hotel room, a charge Malone said she did not support. He was soon released on bond, but instead of walking free, was picked up by US immigration authorities, who transported him 100 miles away to an Ice processing center in Folkston, Georgia So he was able to travel from West Virginia to Georgia but not to Canada to leave the country to meet the requirements of his visa? |
NO that's not what it is. You just want to object to ICE deportation. |
WSJ editorial page for decades has said, "Open the border". |
Well yes, at one point majority of illegal immigrants were from visa overstays. Not sure if that is still the case. Also, it is not clear that this is who ICE is deporting. |
DHS just ended Catch and Release.
However, release on bond is not allowed. They are following federal law that says detention for the duration of immigration proceedings. It's not clear if this means the millions Biden let in are required to report to detention. |
June 2024, Biden releases 28000 people caught at the border into the country.
June 2025, Trump releases 0 people caught at the border into the country. And there were only 6,000 caught to begin with, because people got the message that the border is closed with Trump. |
This is why Democrats lost and MAGA won. |
Yes, we know. You and your friends tell us every day. Enjoy the migrant backlash now, but rest assured, like everything else Trump does, he will fail at this too. He has "sealed the border" (whatever that really means) and severely limited even legal immigration to this country, but he will never remove the 10+ million "illegals" he promised you. He and his people will make a mess of it, and his power will be reduced by the mid-terms so enjoy the cruel spectacle while it lasts--but you will never get exactly what you wished for. There will be a counter backlash soon enough. |
