Average Americans do not know that, with limited exceptions, immigration violations are not criminal offenses. They are civil offenses. Compare it to breach of contract, like breaking a lease or cellphone contract. You don't get dragged out of your life, locked away in a cage, or deported to a place in which you have zero contacts, common language, or personal history.
Now you know.
Lots of mixed emotions everywhere today. I tend to look back at that brief period of unity that followed 9/11. While one might not like where we are today and we've certainly done some things very wrong, I still take solace that there hasn't been another foreign attack of that magnitude on our soil since. Hopefully it will stay that way.
Happy Friday.
Happy Friday, gwdMaine!
