Under current law, presence in the United States without valid status is a civil violation, the same civil violation for speeding and any other traffic violations such as tailgating, improperly passing a school bus, reckless driving, and illegal u-turns. It carries the same legal weight for someone charged for disorderly conduct, including certain types of domestic disputes; vandalism; ordinance violations involving signs, property maintenance, and other matters; and harassment.

Oh no, people like you are so quick to jack unlawful residency violations up to felonies. This kind of thinking not only shows callousness, but a complete lack of understanding of the havoc the move will create.
