    Because immigration enforcement is a civil violation, not a criminal one. Imagine if the government said that license plate readers could be used to enforce copyright violations, or defamation. Say a bad word about the President and they will use the system to find your car and wait for you to send you to Alligator Auschwitz without a trial.

      Entering the country illegally is a crime under federal law, not civil. Remaining in the country after your legal immigration status is up is a civil issue, but deportation is a lawful response.

      Why do you think people should get to stay in a country illegally? I’m genuinely curious.

        Do you think a person should be seperated from thier families, put into prison, subjected to violence, and sent to a country they’ve never been to for a misdemeanor?

        Because thats a criminal misdemeanor, not civil like immigration. But you dont care do you? You got yours…
