California AG: Illegal Immigration Should Be Decriminalized
National Review ^ | April 4, 2019 | Mariread McArdle

Posted on 04/04/2019 1:31:27 PM PDT by C19fan

California attorney general Xavier Becerra called Thursday for unauthorized immigration to be decriminalized, saying those crossing the southern border are “not criminals.”

“They haven’t committed a crime against someone, and they are not acting violently or in a way that’s harmful to people,” California’s top cop told HuffPost. “And I would argue they are not harming people indirectly either.”

“If you call them criminals, it’s a lot easier to get people to turn against them than if you call them undocumented immigrants,” he added.

This seems to be the latest Leftist talking point; recently Julian Castro stated the same. Not only amnesty but "decriminalization" for those coming in the future.

How about instead someone go round up his illegal alien relatives that he’s boasted about? Maybe arrest him in regards to them?

And if anyone is even planning on eventually crossing the border at some point or another they should get to vote in U.S. elections with a mail-in ballot. It’s only fair. /sarc

Sorry Xavy, California has no jurisdiction, see Prop 187.

Yes, and every illegal alien should get a free secret server from the government to hide illegal activities. - just like Xavier Becerra had.

As I understand it, there are 48 legal ports of entry on the US/MEXICO border, and maybe 300 other legal entry points at airports and seaports.

Can anyone explain to me a *legitimate* reason to evade the legal entry points? What is it I’m not seeing here?

As soon as they take benefits, or take a job, they have done something illegal against someone.

Really? Just for the US or for every country in the world? Tell him to try crossing the border into Mexico illegally and we’ll see what happens to him.

Angel Maturino Reséndiz (August 1, 1959[1] – June 27, 2006), aka The Railroad Killer/The Railway Killer/The Railcar Killer, was an itinerant Mexican serial killer suspected in as many as 23 murders across the United States and Mexico during the 1990s. Some also involved sexual assault. He became known as “The Railroad (or Railway) Killer” as most of his crimes were committed near railroads where he had jumped off the trains he was using to travel about the country.

From Wikipedia. Guess this Xavier fellow never heard about the angel of death. I remember it.
