Stop and ask yourself, what is "illegal immigrant"? That requires criminality by the person.
It is generally not accurate to qualify the people as "illegal". Generally, they have not committed a criminal offense. Overstaying a visa is NOT criminal, it is civil infraction, equivalent to a lawsuit under the law. Being granted entry and a work permit while awaiting an asylum claim is not even close to criminal, such as the 300,000 Venezuelans that have suddenly had their status revoked.
Migrant farm workers are generally not criminal aliens either.
In the actual rare cases of being caught crossing the border at some place other than a point of entry, that is generally a misdemeanor.
So that leaves you with aliens that either are operating as criminals in organized crime, and aliens that have committed crimes - which is usually the common stuff of the impoverished - Domestic, Drugs, Burglary, and DUI, and then homicides. Crime statistics show that the undocumented population commit these crimes in FAR lower number than US Citizens.
And then you have human trafficking, which falls into both labor and forced sex work. ICE and HSI actually did pick up primary responsibility for investigating this criminal activity. It's really too bad they have to divert focus from this particular modern day slavery.
So anyway, fuck ICE. They have shifting into terrorizing communities and neighborhoods as a whole for political purposes AT THE DIRECTION of politicians in conflict with their congressional authorized duties and responsibilities. Originally Posted by Black Sedan

Cop hands you a ticket then holds you for a K-9 to sniff your car: : NOT a crime, civil infraction.
You know what else wasn't criminal? Alex Jones lying about Sandy Hook and tormenting all those parents.
Maybe we should just outlaw civil tort claims. I mean, they're not criminal after all.
I seriously have to wonder how some people can even tie their own shoes.
