so in effect, she has the IQ of a loaf of bread. woot..These are the people in charge, supreme bring help us.
"Illegal" generally means that something is criminal, so stating that illegal immigrants aren't criminal is, arguably, pretty dumb. But it's also somewhat circular, right? Who says that an immigrant is committing a crime? Unlawful and illegal are not always the same, and by painting undocumented immigrants as "illegal" then it's making them into something that they're (most often) not. I think that undocumented immigration is a big problem, mainly because of the hypocrisy and inefficiencies. An answer MIGHT be to start throwing undocumented/unlawful immigrants in prison... which would mean criminalizing that immigration status in a way that (as I understand it) it is not currently. Ed O.
I'm always amused with the idea that we can feed, clothe, educate and provide health care for illegal immigrants but somehow it's impossible to deport them. Of course it's possible, it's simply that we lack the political will to do so.
Currently, if you get booked at Washington County jail and are here without proper documents (good distinction Ed), they put a hold on you and transport you to Tacoma to be deported. Why make it criminal? So that they have to do jail in the US first before deporting them? What about people here on political asylum but are undocumented, jail for them?
Um, that's what the GOP position is, silly. The illegals don't have US rights, so they are deported if apprehended. The GOP isn't going to perform sweeps looking for illegals; they merely want to be able to check the citizenship of those apprehended. Did you actually read the GOP platform? Being in the US illegally is a "crime", but our judicial system shouldn't cover illegal immigrants, so they should be shipped back to their own country.
Yes, jail time takes them out of our society and provides a reason to not return illegally. If they are undocumented, then they have not been granted political asylum. Fill out the forms, wait your turn, or rot in prison and then get sent back where you came from for stealing an honest person's place. It's simple, fair and just.
