    nope, it's a civil violation, not a crime.

    but what do Americans care about facts.

    The word illegal does not imply civil versus criminal you dumb fuck. Also, something being illegal does not even imply that its immoral. But hey what does anyone care about facts nowadays.

    You can't yell on the internet you little bitch. And if you start insulting people don't be surprised if they insult you back. You little bitch. Give your balls a tug.

    sigh, are you sure you need to be this angry? feel free to hurt yourself with that high blood pressure. seriously chill, you're the one who began insulting.

    No one is illegal. period.. you can do illegal stuff, but illegal is not something you are. Not only because of civil violations/misdemeanor... but because "illegal" isn't a personal trait.

    If "being" for some people is an illegal act, that is an apartheid dystopian nightmare.

    and yes, I'll say the United States has immigration apartheid. immigrants have a different set of laws, courts, and punishments for crimes. that's a form of apartheid.

    If an undocumented is caught speeding, they can get deported, while a citizen just gets a fine.

    other counties are even granting immigrants voting rights, while here they are practically treated as subhuman cheap labor.

    We could always simply change the rules and boom now it is illegal. What’s the argument then lol. Rules are made up so claiming “well it’s not against the rules” is a retarded argument cuz we can simply change the rules. It’s not good to have undocumented people in the country which is why civilized countries don’t allow this

    can we step asside, are you going about this from an anarchist side, like rules are arbitrary and the state can declare anyone illegal, and that is BAD.

    Or as a conservative, that thinks immigrants are bad criminals?

    because so far I interpreted the later.

    Neither? I was making an argument against the logic not really a political position as I am neither an anarchist nor a conservative. China is a Marxist state and they don’t allow unregulated immigration as it dilutes any sense of nationalism and shared cultural identity and the result of this is a very unified country given their population.

    If it’s not “a crime” to be undocumented then we could simply make this a crime and problem solved. The people who are upset about enforcement of civil crimes as if they are illegal have no more ground to stand on and America can still have rules that help maintain a national identity. Appeal to the rules is a bad logical argument as it presupposes that rules are eternal and made by God and I’m more of a materialist myself

    I'm actually impressed you can get on the internet with how fucking stupid you are. I'm racist because I said being undocumented is illegal. Makes total sense. I'm starting to feel bad making fun of you, like is it hate crime because you're so dumb? Do you have a handicap parking pass because otherwise you'd get lost on your way to the store?

    It's like a parking ticket. Is everyone who had a traffic violation now an illegal person?

    In the US, government agents will issue an arrest warrant if you get a traffic violation then fail to participate in the legal system. You have to show up in court or accept default judgement and pay the fine.

    It's the same with "illegal immigration" except you go into the federal Homeland Security system where the feds are above the law, and the default judgement is "deportation", which is technically exile unless they send you back to the country you emigrated from, which they put no effort into figuring out.

    "fail to participate in the legal system"

    Given my own experience with a brother-in-law being deprorted to a country where he cannot legally work, this sounds like a euphemism. We participated in the legal system, lawyers and all.

    Oh a parking ticket, like you get when you're parking illegally? https://portal.311.nyc.gov/article/?kanumber=KA-01986

    civil violation, should we jail people who parked illegally? rather than a fine? should you get deported if you park in the wrong place? Should parking violations be part of people's criminal history?

    imagine being unemployable due to a parking violation.

    civil violation ≠ crime, and doesn't make someone illegal

    someone cannot be illegal, they can do illegal stuff but you cannot be illegal.

    Existing isn't a crime.

    I never said anything about jail. Just that being undocumented is in fact illegal. The rest is just you projecting your morals onto a simple statement of fact.

    Yes, exactly like that. The act is illegal. Not the person. It's not even a felony for heavens sake.

    Right so you would agree that being undocumented is in fact illegal?

    Yes, breaking the law is illegal. Do you understand that doesn't make the person illegal or even a felon?

    I didn't say anything about a person being illegal or a felon. I said that being undocumented is illegal. Because it is.

    Yes and further up the person was talking about how no person is illegal. So why are you even arguing?

    I'm not arguing with that statement I was arguing that being undocumented is in fact illegal. As in its against the law. Regardless of how you feel about it.

    And I will argue that is some very dubious context given how people are being treated. Like people are disappearing and you're out here arguing they did a crime. Great job. Many of them aren't even undocumented.

    Undocumented or illegal immigrants committed a crime. You may think that it shouldn't be a crime, but at the moment it is a crime.

    I think it's rather beside the point when talking about human rights. Why do you think it is relevant to repeat ad nausea in the context of human rights?

    The only point I was trying to make is beside the point? You can believe whatever you want about immigrantion and how it should work. That doesn't magically make illegal immigration legal. Law is distinct from morality.

    That's like me saying what the Nazis did was legal when someone brings up the holocaust. Like what is your point in making this distinction? To show us you understand definitions? Good for you I guess... 🙄

    I think the Nazis would have euthanized you as a child for being so fucking stupid. Do you really not think that the Nazis legalizing all of their atrocities is incredibly important to keep in mind giving whats been happening lately?

    I don't think it's important, just like the legality of "illegal humans" is not important to how people are being mistreated. You're the one bringing up legality in this context.

    But please continue to insult me. In the states we have a saying: a hit dog will hollar - behind your anger is a fear and behind that fear is something you love. If you keep it up there will be enough pieces to figure out what is motivating you

    Holy shit. Please continue to highlight the failings of the United States educational system. Or lack thereof. I corrected someone who said that being undocumented isn't illegal and then a bunch of room temperature dumbasses are trying to pile on about the morality of the whole situation.

    I'll spell it out for you using small words because you seem to be a special kind of idiot. Fascists legalize their own bad behavior and hide behind the bastardized legal system to deflect any blame for their actions. Morals and laws only occasionally overlap.
