For more than two decades, Charis E. Kubrin has followed the data wherever it leads. As UC Irvine Chancellor's Professor of Criminology, Law and Society, she has built a career studying one of America's most politically charged questions: Does immigration drive crime?
Unauthorized immigration is a crime.
Entering into the US illegally is a misdemeanour, not a felony.
Chance of a 1hr old account trotting out anti-immigrant talking points not being a troll: 0%
1995 called, they need you to hack the Gibson over dial-up.
So you agree. It’s a crime.
Looks at 4th wall He even threw in the word illegally!
But you want to split hairs over the severity?
I’m just pointing out that the severity makes it a nothing burger.
Also, not all illegal things are crimes. For instance, overstaying your visa is a civil violation, not a crime.
If you want to troll, at least get your basic facts right.
There are no laws, we made the whole thing up
Ahem, there are laws, but only when they apply to you and not me.
Borders are a crime
Y’know I remember from my libertarian days that this was the exact platform in immigration. Borders and anti-immigration measures were antithetical to a small-government, free-market society.
Ironic how so many self-labeled right-wing “libertarians” and “anarcho-capitalists” reversed their position when MAGA emerged.
So how far do you want to take that argument?
Should we have our private property respected?
Should a home invasion be illegal?
How about personal boundaries(or borders)?
Hmmm? 🤔
If boundaries themselves are inherently illegitimate, what principle tells us which ones we should respect and which ones we shouldn’t?
Oooh slippery slope fallacy, gotta love it!
Aww, the tool bitches out. Womp womp
Not engaging in piss poor arguments is bitching out hahahaha
A small one.
How does that impact you, exactly?
How does it impact me personally? That’s not really relevant to whether entering the country illegally is, in fact, illegal. We don’t generally decide which laws matter based on whether I personally know the person committing the offense.
So you’re one of those people who thinks all crimes are equal? If it’s illegal, it’s illegal, period, doesn’t matter if it’s moral or not?
Okay, do you care that the president of the Untied States has committed hundreds of crimes and gotten away with them?
So if your friend downloaded a movie from a torrent site you would turn them in?
