“Immigration matters are civil matters, meaning that immigrants – whether they are naturalized citizens or not – do not have the right to an attorney in such cases.”
How can immigrantion matters be considered a civil matter if you criminalized someone’s immigration status?
Example in Tennessee:
"The legislation, criminalizing the act of being in Tennessee without legal immigration status, would come with both jail time and an eviction notice from the state. Judges would be required to issue 72-hour warnings to leave Tennessee to anyone charged or convicted of the crime.
The first offense would be a misdemeanor, but would rise to a felony if someone is charged a second or subsequent time."
That means Tennessees courts should immediately shoot that down as unconstitutional because it is a civil matter according to the federal government.
How can immigrantion matters be considered a civil matter if you criminalized someone’s immigration status?
Because you have a judge who rubber stamps your twisted legal reasoning. And you’ve got a liberal opposition that only knows how to shrug at fascism and deflect blame onto college leftists for not voting harder.
