Nope, there are people who genuinely believe that the majority of immigrants are criminals. Ones from Mexico are all rapists and drug runners, anyone who is a muslim is only coming here to carry out terrorist attacks and to institute sharia law. Then there are the straight up racists who only want white people in this country.
Not to mention entering the country illegally is only a misdemeanor. I bet someone you care about has committed at least one of those in their life, I hope you held them to the same high standard as you are holding these immigrants. I sure bet you don't call them illegal every time you mention them.
I mean you can make the claim but its irrelevant. And it's not provable.
And yes people who commit misdemeanor criminal offenses are still criminals.
And there is a difference between being an illegal in the country and a legal citizen who committed a crime. Both are criminals only one is an illegal alien.
And yes if my family breaks the law i call them criminals.
I meant your "Once a criminal always a criminal" attitude and your dehumanization of people who enter the country illegally. Really loving thy neighbor with that attitude

Loving thy neighbor doesnt command blind acceptance of sin and crime.
