These people are not rapists, murderers, and gangsters. They’re people who don’t have proper paper work because our system doesn’t work. Stop letting our government blame our problems on illegal immigrants and other vulnerable members of our society

And that’s not even getting into trumps efforts to make non asylum entry harder (getting rid of appointments made through the cbp one app) and naturalization harder (ice arrests inside immigration court hearings). He wants these people to be illegal

U.S. law does have a section (8 U.S.C. § 1325) that says someone who enters between ports of entry can be subject to a civil penalty of $50–$250 per entry. But that’s in addition to other penalties.

Separately, entering the U.S. without going through a port of entry is already a federal crime. So the idea that it’s “just a little civil thing with a tiny fine” is incomplete and leaves out the criminal side entirely.

Yeah they make choices based on information at hand. They see illegals committing crime, the natural reaction is to make it harder for them to come in. So yes when you look at the entire picture and how our government runs/works.

The law allows for DHS to go above and beyond the specified fine, yes. But why would they do that and what’s the benefit? It’s extraordinarily expensive to find and deport these people. Most of whom by the way are entirely law abiding besides not having citizenship. What’s the benefit to deportation as opposed to fining them and helping them obtain citizenship?

The crime being a federal crime doesn’t change my point. It’s a federal civil misdemeanor. People get speeding tickets with much more criminal weight all the time. Why focus on these relatively harmful people at the expense of catching real criminals?

Because that sets a standard, illegally cross borders and the government will help you get citizenship! Fuck no, it’s never been like that never will. For a very long time we have had official channels and rules about entering our country. When done illegally it makes sense that you do not get to stay ahead of the people who are doing it legally.

OP by that logic, US citizens should all be banned, because some of them are murderers… All US citizens to jail, because some are rapists. Deport every. single. US citizen because some steal…
