I understand that even the so-called “dreamers” who were brought here as children cause problems, and may be breaking other laws. I’m just referring to the legal (and admittedly technic) distinction between the criminal act of crossing the border illegally (which most of the so-called “dreamers” likely could not be convicted of, as they were brought here as minors) and the civil viation of remaining in the United States without documentation (which the so-called dreamers are most certainly guilty of). Again, it’s admittedly a semantic issue, as they can and should be deported for even the civil violation. I just think that since the entire immigration issue is based on compliance with our various immigration laws, it’s important that we get even the semantic terms right.
Oh, and I voted for Obama zero times. Palin in ‘08, sat home in ‘12 (not that it matters much, here in deep-blue NYC)
If you drive without a valid license or insurance you are breaking criminal law.
If you have stolen someones identity or aren’t paying taxes you are breaking criminal law.
It is not semantics, it is facts.
If odinga or holder were interested in prosecuting this guy he would be hit by a drone or on his way to Gitmo already. We both know that.
