Criminalizing illegal immigrants?
Silly me I thought illegal was the opposite of legal.
I thought doing something illegal was a criminal offense.
Another thing, what on earth does the Good Samaritan and Jesus have to do with illegal immigration. Does she thing they were in the country illegally? Geez.
its currently a civil infraction. kinda like a speeding ticket or a parking ticket, or jaywalking. that should tell you just about how serious pols think illegal immigration is.
As the poorly written AP article says, it's a misdemeanor now. That means it's not a criminal offence. The proposed bill would make it a felony, which is a criminal offence. Clear?
