is not entering the U.S. without going thru customs/immigration etc. not illegal? is it a felony? is it a misdemeanor?
no matter ... who cares?
my point is that the congress will be willing to give them a "get out of jail free" pass by granting them amnesty for illegally entering our country will they not?
why shouldn't citizens here be given the same "pass" as is being demanded by ILLEGAL immigrants?
just this weekend ILLEGALS in the streets DEMANDING amnesty!
of course, i understand about more serious crimes ...
don't you see the cynicism of the whole thing?
wake up folks! our congress will sell us down the river if given the chance ... latest polls show congress is rated the lowest it's ever been in job approval ... 24% (and that's UP from an earlier 18%)
most polls show that the LEGAL/NATURAL BORN CITIZENS want the ILLEGALS dealt with ... mostly by sending them back to the country of their origin.
i used to live less than 3 miles from the border ... it was like a sci-fi movie every nite with the helos and BP vehicles, searchlites etc.
i'm sorry ... i think the whole damned situation smells rotten! if congress/pres would have dealt with this years ago, we wouldn't be in the situation we're in now but ... they're afraid to 'offend' mexico by sealing the border!
simply stated: they commit a crime (felony or misdeameanor) by coming across ILLEGALLY and may be forgiven for it ... by contrast, if i don't pay the $79 taxes on a mobile home i'm threatened by incarceration, seizure of bank accounts, leins on property etc and i will be hounded to the grave for it.
once again ...
