"crossing a national border is not a petty offense"

Technically it is.

"i suggest you illegally immigrate to mexico, get a job there, and check out how well you are treated"

Apples to oranges. Sodomy is a crime in Saudi Arabia, does that mean that before the supreme court of the U.S. legalized it Arab-Americans shouldn't have had anal sex because the penalties for it we much heavier in their country of origin. That doesn't make much sense.

"by the way we call people out on bail caught w. pot "criminals" in my state, just so you know"

I think you need to be convicted at trial to be called a "criminal"


"and yes, if you keep speeding and don't pay your ticket, again, you go to jail, and you are a "criminal""

Yes, but we don't call them "illegal people" do we?
