I could reach [sic] you law. ....

Does that make you a "reacher"?

 

[lennypartiv]

I don't see how this can be gotten around, without a constitutional amendment???

Barrett and Kavanaugh might be interested in overturning this.

That's not a crime, that's a violation (below misdemeanor) deportable offense.
Multiple violations raise it to a misdemeanor crime.

No, it's a crime. In fact, it's a Federal crime. Unlawful Entry.

U.S. Border Crossing Laws in 8 USC 1325​

Improper entry into the United States is a tricky legal situation. The immigration laws outlining improper entry fall under U.S. Code Title 8, Section 1325. They can also be found in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) Section 275.


The most typical depiction of improper entry is illegally crossing the border at an unguarded border crossing, but there are many ways that a person can face punishment for illegal immigration.


A person is considered to have illegally entered the U.S. if they:

• Enter at a place without immigration officers present or at a location that is not a designated point of entry
• Enter without being examined or inspected by immigration officers
• Enter based on false or misleading information
• Enter while willfully concealing facts or materials

Examples of illegal entry include lying on a visa application or providing false documents—or even a fake identification or green card.


Even while traveling to the United States by air or sea, you must provide identification that you are legally entering the country.

Is Unlawful Entry a Felony?​

Yes, unlawful entry is a felony. And having a felony offense makes it extremely difficult to legally reenter the United States. A list of undocumented immigration civil offenses and violation consequences are listed below.

Yes. As I told you.

"8 U.S. Code § 1401

The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:
(a)
a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof;

Good one. Reacher is a bit taller than I am.

You’re repetitive and still pointless.

Not when Tom Cruise played him.

I'm sorry if reality seems repetitive to you. It tends not to change.

True. Worst casting I’ve seen in a while.

It wasn’t disputed. Fuck, I pointed it out explicitly before you started looping it.

I think you may not grasp what it says.

See. There is nothing in there referencing a child born to an illegal entrant foreign national while on American soil.

Have you forgotten what "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" means within the Fourteenth Amendment?
