Looks less and less like “worst of the worst” and has always been “brownest of the brown”.

    Technically speaking, when you enter a country illegally without going through the process to get a green card, then it’s illegal. Sorry but that’s fact and if you think it isn’t, welp, you must really see the rules and laws far differently than what most see it as.

    I mean, you try going to any other country without a visa or passport, they’ll deem you the same too.

    Sorry but little meaningless downvotes don’t change facts either. : )

    Okay it really feels like people are just getting unnecessarily emotional and going for the jugular vein for no reason other than to be antagonistic so I’m just going to be blocking from now on.

      When passports and visas were created they were widely decried as government tyranny and promised to be a temporary wartime measure. And yet now people accept them as normal.

      If you think the government should control my personal freedom to travel then please justify that. Otherwise, fuck laws that infringe freedom without adequate justification.

      What would I do to save my family from violence and poverty… jump a border? Of fucking course I would.

      Technically, yes, that’s illegal according to laws some people in power made up. I don’t think that’s the question here though. Does it make you a criminal? Because that’s quite a big word and it’s used to manipulate people into thinking illegals are thugs. On vacation I stole a glass from a bar that pissed me off and I got a souvenir. When I drive I also sometimes break the law. Does this make me a criminal? If so I’m pretty sure by far most people are, no matter how law obedient they seem.

        I’m pretty sure like 90% of the population has broken traffic laws and also drank alcohol underage at some point

      Dotard Trump blocked normal channels for claiming asylum (claiming asylum is legal), forcing people to cross to border at alternate points to escape death.

      He had his ghouls then arrest them for crossing illegally. Fuck off.
