just a reminder being undocumented isn't a criminal offense and shouldn't result in a house raid or imprisonment!

It’s actually literally against the law to illegally enter the country. That’s how

It’s not a criminal offense it’s a civil offense, but civil infractions are still illegal.

so when someone idk gets into a car accident and breaks a street light, they deserve to have their home raided and their car taken away from them?

No, that’s not what I said. But those are both by definition violations of the law, making it illegal. Saying being undocumented isn’t illegal is just wrong.

The first one would literally be breaking the law, driving under an expired license so yeah. I’m not arguing for punishment, I’m anti Trump and for amnesty, it’s just dumb you can’t call a spade a spade.

My only point was responding to OP saying being undocumented isn’t illegal, that’s just dumb.

what are you correcting them about? like why did you feel the need to say “*illegal” here? nothing in the original post needs correction.
