  civil violation, should we jail people who parked illegally? rather than a fine? should you get deported if you park in the wrong place? Should parking violations be part of people’s criminal history?

  imagine being unemployable due to a parking violation.

  civil violation ≠ crime, and doesn’t make someone illegal

  someone cannot be illegal, they can do illegal stuff but you cannot be illegal.

  Existing isn’t a crime.

    I never said anything about jail. Just that being undocumented is in fact illegal. The rest is just you projecting your morals onto a simple statement of fact.

      “Being” isnt a crime. again, civil violation doesn’t make you a criminal.

      and it is quite racist to declare immigrants who committed no crimes as “being” illegal.

  Yes, exactly like that. The act is illegal. Not the person

    Right so you would agree that being undocumented is in fact illegal?

      Yes, breaking the law is illegal. Do you understand that doesn’t make the person illegal or even a felon?

        I didn’t say anything about a person being illegal or a felon. I said that being undocumented is illegal. Because it is.
