"If you ever violated a traffic law, you are as much a criminal as an out of status non citizen."
Lol, huh??
So according to your rationale, shoplifting is a crime only if you are caught in the act??
And btw -- "violating a traffic law" is not a federal crime...
But hmmm, just what "violation" is invading a sovereign country?
Traffic law violations, other than serious ones like DUI and reckless driving, are "infractions".
Entering illegally is a "misdemeanor".
Posessing and using forged documents in support of your illegal stay is most likely a "felony".
Infractions..misdemeanors..and felonies. Get it?
