At present entering the United States without having presented yourself to a duly constituted official is a misdemeanor. Doing do multiple times is a felony. So far among the Democratic candidates Julian Castro and Elizabeth Warren have endorsed “decriminalizing” entering the country without permission.
Here’s my question. Would that encourage more people to enter the country, discourage people from entering the country, or have no effect? I think it would minorly encourage more people to enter the country. Is that actually what we want to do?
Well. both of them are “open borders” but don’t want to own it. Vote for them if you like.
