Yeah a lot of people don’t realize that being in the U.S without like asylum status or a green card, work visa, whatever. … Yeah it’s not illegal.

You can get in some trouble in the form of deportation and restricted from coming back.

But on the books. It’s not illegal.

Thats what the magas don’t get either. “Well they shouldn’t have been here illegally”

They weren’t. No one is here illegally because they are no laws against it. Just regulations.

This is also why it actually is illegal to arrest them and put them in prisons or long term camps just for being undocumented. That’s kidnapping and illegal imprisonment.
