Comments on: KS Court: Illegal Presence In US Not A Crime http://sweetness-light.com/archive/ks-court-says-illegal-presence-in-us-not-a-crime Sun, 22 Nov 2009 06:10:23 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: crosspatch http://sweetness-light.com/archive/ks-court-says-illegal-presence-in-us-not-a-crime#comment-124664 crosspatch Wed, 19 Nov 2008 07:50:25 +0000 http://sweetness-light.com/archive/ks-court-says-illegal-presence-in-us-not-a-crime#comment-124664 It isn't a crime until you have had a hearing. If you are here and didn't follow procedure, you are entitled to a hearing. Simply being here is not a crime. At that hearing a judge can determine if you are allowed to stay or must leave. If it is determined that you must leave (a deportation order is issued) and you don't leave, THEN you have committed a crime. Or, if you have been deported and show up again, you are a criminal. But just being here isn't a crime, no. Actually, I have been trying to tell people this for a couple of years now. It isn't a crime until you are told to leave and don't or you are deported and come back without following channels. Also, the judge at the hearing has the power to allow the immigrant to stay. So it is possible to be "caught", go before a judge at an immigration hearing, and have the judge allow you to stay with no penalty. That is one of the reasons why it is impossible to deport the X million number of illegals we have here. If every single one of them requested a hearing, it would take 50 years to clear the backlog of cases just from the number of illegals here today. Deporting all the illegals in this country today is a physical impossibility. Besides wrecking the economy even more, it would simply not be possible to process that many people in our lifetimes. And I believe that is how Ronald Reagan intended it to work when that process was made law. It isn’t a crime until you have had a hearing.
