Reply #149: illegally crossing the border to the great white north.

As written, your statement implies that folks are leaving the U.S. for Canada. While that is so in a few instances, U.S. immigration law, and the breaking of that law, is what is being discussed. Emigration hasn't been brought up until now.

If you haven't noticed, the U.S. has virtually no statutory or case law concerning emigration, excepting law concerning those who emigrate to avoid taxes, to avoid military service, or to avoid criminal or civil penalties.

The rest of us seem to be discussing illegal immigration. Why bring emigration into it?
