    Because immigration enforcement is a civil violation, not a criminal one. Imagine if the government said that license plate readers could be used to enforce copyright violations, or defamation. Say a bad word about the President and they will use the system to find your car and wait for you to send you to Alligator Auschwitz without a trial.

      Entering the country illegally is a crime under federal law, not civil. Remaining in the country after your legal immigration status is up is a civil issue, but deportation is a lawful response.

      Why do you think people should get to stay in a country illegally? I’m genuinely curious.

        Do you think a person should be seperated from thier families, put into prison, subjected to violence, and sent to a country they’ve never been to for a misdemeanor?

        Because thats a criminal misdemeanor, not civil like immigration. But you dont care do you? You got yours…

        Ghoul

          This argument is such a stupid one that is purely made to pull at people’s heart strings. If someone commits murder should they not be sent to jail because doing so would “separate them from their family”?

          People in the country illegally should be removed from the country. Full stop. They’re just deported back to their country of citizenship, unless they’re one of the gang members in which case they are going to prison.
