| legendary_zell 08/02/17 2:47:33 AM #169: | It's illegal to be here illegally, but it's not a crime. There's lots of things that are against the law, but are not crimes...for example, most of the civil code. Unlawful entry is a misdemeanor, but many undocumented immigrants didn't even do that. And if they did, that's a misdemeanor, I don't see most people getting so bent out of shape over much worse, violent and fraudulent misdemeanors. They broke the law, that doesn't make them bad people or "illegal" or worthy of disdain or mistreatment. In addition, aiding and abetting is a term of art with an actual legal meaning. You as lay people are either ignorant of that meaning or twisting it for your own political purposes. To aid and abet, you have to have the intent to aid or encourage the commission of a criminal act. You have to actually aid the person in the offense. You'd have to prove they intended for the person to enter and remain here illegally and they helped them do so. Just not reporting something even when you have the full power to report it isn't aiding and abetting. It's not even accessory after the fact. It's already been established by actual lawyers that there is no duty of state executive officials to run federal programs or help with federal initiatives. The feds can't enlist state officers to do federal jobs. This is from the Supreme Court people. You asserting otherwise doesn't make it so. State officers do not have to or want to be forced to become federal immigration enforcement. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
