God you can practically hear some people licking their lips at the first excuse they can find to say that “illegal immigrants broke a law by definition and are therefore ALREADY ALL KRRRRIMMMMINNNUHHHLLLSSS!!!”
They’re fucking HORNY for this pedantic bullshit maneuver yet they sure don’t characterize themselves as “criminals” if they ever got a parking ticket or downloaded an mp3.
And the simple act of entering our country does no more inherent harm than either of those things, nor has any evidence ever demonstrated that undocumented immigrants are especially likely to break any more serious laws. Just the opposite, in fact.
It’s not a human right to enter another country without the permission of its government. There’s a process for this, and excusing the people who do it illegally spits in the face of those who abided by the law.
Sometimes it helps to read the whole post before you respond to it, dude.
I put this in the tags, but fuck it, I’m putting it here, so everyone knows the law.
The UK is the only country in the EU to detain refugees/asylum seekers without a time limit on their detention.
Survivors of torture are detained.
People who came to the UK as children are detained.
During detention, they may be obligated to do menial labour for as little as £1 an hour.
It doesn’t matter if you’re traumatised, disabled, mentally ill – you can be detained, even though it is a human rights abuse and actively makes your condition worse.
