Violating U.S. sovereignty is apparently no more serious than forgetting
to pay a parking meter � or so we�re told by progressive pundits and
Democrat politicians now parroting the line that being in the United
States illegally is �just a civil offense.� It�s a lie so ridiculous and transparent that it could only come from the same crowd that insists men
can get pregnant.

Amid anti-ICE riots erupting in cities across the country, the activist
left has gone all-in on this absurd talking point that began on cable news networks and is now spreading like wildfire on social media. In April,
CNN�s Abby Phillip boldly declared, �Coming into the country illegally is
a civil offense, not a criminal offense.� In March, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) went even further on MSNBC, flat-out claiming that entering the
U.S. illegally is �not a crime� at all.

Now, liberal commentators and left-wing TikTok influencers are comparing illegal entry to �jaywalking� and scolding anyone who dares to disagree.
As journalist Collin Rugg recently reported, �Many large creators are
releasing extremely similar statements where they shame other creators for
not �speaking out� against the [ICE] raids.�

This narrative is not just misleading�it�s deliberately dishonest. Here
are the facts.

Under 8 U.S. Code Section 1325, it is a federal misdemeanor to cross into
the United States without authorization at a legal port of entry. First-
time illegal entry is punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine.
If you�re caught, deported, and then re-enter the U.S. again without authorization, you�ve committed a felony under 8 U.S. Code Section 1326,
and you can face up to two years in prison, or more if aggravating factors apply.

In other words, entering the country illegally is a crime. Entering
illegally again is a serious crime. The only time a �civil violation�
applies is in the case of visa overstays � when someone enters legally and
then fails to leave. But the left is using this single scenario to paint
all 10�15 million illegal aliens in the U.S. as victims of some harmless paperwork mishap.

It�s disingenuous, manipulative, and an insult to the millions of American immigrants who have followed the letter of the law to come here.

Even if we accept the premise that overstaying a visa is �only� a civil offense, does that somehow make it okay? Should we excuse it? Calling
something a �civil offense� doesn�t mean �not illegal.� It just means it�s processed differently.

Consider other civil violations: tax fraud, sexual harassment in the
workplace, failure to pay child support, violations of housing codes � all
of these are classified as civil offenses in various contexts.

This is where the left�s logic completely collapses. If �it�s just a civil offense� is an acceptable moral standard, then what else should we
tolerate? Identity theft? Making unwanted sexual advances at work? Should
we go ahead and abolish OSHA while we�re at it?

Of course not. But for some reason, when it comes to illegal immigration, suddenly all violations are excusable, every border is imaginary, and any attempt to enforce the law is an act of oppression.

And we all see the consequences with our own eyes.

Ask the families of Americans who�ve lost loved ones to crimes committed
by illegal aliens if unchecked mass migration is merely a �civil� matter.
Ask border town officials dealing with drug cartels, human traffickers,
and gangs that have taken root in their communities. Ask blue-collar
workers whose wages have been undercut by cheap, illegal labor. Ask the
parents of Laken Riley, the Georgia nursing student murdered last year by illegal alien Jose Ibarra.

Even some on the right might be tempted to dismiss the �civil� and
�criminal� distinction as just semantics. But in truth, what the left is
doing is far more dangerous. What this latest messaging campaign is really about is erasing the moral and legal clarity surrounding illegal
immigration. It is about laundering lawlessness through sanitized language
and normalizing something that should be entirely reprehensible to every law-abiding American.

The truth is, deportation is already a lenient punishment for illegal
entry. The federal government has every right under the law to lock up
those who violate our borders, especially repeat offenders. But instead of enforcing those laws, the left wants to redefine them, then shame anyone
who disagrees.

In the end, this entire narrative isn�t about clarifying legal categories.
It�s about advancing an open borders agenda � one that is so indefensible they�re now resorting to gaslighting the American public into thinking
illegal immigration isn�t even illegal. They�re trying to �sanewash� chaos
by making it sound softer, friendlier, more palatable.

This isn�t �compassion� or �justice� � it�s capitulation and betrayal. No matter how many faces the left attempts to put on their crusade to erase
our borders, the American people should reject all of them outright.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

Best post of the year to date. Thank you for posting.

First we will destroy your identity. Then we will teach you your past
was evil. You will conclude yourself that your inheritance, your
homeland, your ancestors and your people are underserving of it all.
Then we will complete your dispossession and dissolve you into the final
phase of the Kalergi Plan.
