2You post this every other page and it still doesn't make it correct or accurate. the SCOTUS disagrees with you and it has been in conservative control since the 1970's.[/quote]

3You are wrong.  You've already forgot your talking point, being so eager to support illegals.

4The Supreme Court has indicated that simply being present in the United States without proper documentation is generally
not a crime, but rather a civil violation.

Key Points:

1)  Civil vs. Criminal: Immigration law generally treats unauthorized presence as a civil matter, leading to deportation or removal, which the Supreme Court has stated is not "criminal punishment".

2) Supreme Court Ruling: In the case Arizona v. United States (2012), the Supreme Court ruled that "as a general rule, it is not a crime for a removable alien to remain present in the United States". This case challenged a controversial Arizona law that required police to determine immigration status during detentions.

3) Entering vs. Being Present: While entering the U.S. without inspection is a federal crime (either a misdemeanor or felony depending on the circumstances), simply being present without documentation is not.

4) Re-entry after deportation: It is a crime for an individual who has been previously deported to enter or attempt to enter the U.S. without authorization. This can result in imprisonment.

In summary: While undocumented immigrants may face serious consequences, including deportation, their status of being in the U.S. without documentation is generally considered a civil violation, not a criminal offense, a position supported by a Supreme Court ruling.

Ergo, NOT a crime.[/quote]
It is a crime.  Your point #3.[/quote]
