So we paid them in Irainian currency?
The trump administration expanded that to include misdemeanors, so they could justify stripping people of their children for crossing the border
It very much seemed as if you were making the case that Trump should be impeached
@Anubis78 that’s not what the child separation policy was
Also are we talking about illegal immigration?
@Indianathrones1 no, the Iranians paid in US currency.
So they paid us?
Yes
Because crossing the border illegally is a crime in and of itself
@Cobra Commander crossing the border is a misdemeanor, like jaywalking.
Ummmm you might want to look that one up
@Indianathrones1 what do you think that money was for?
Correct illegal is the word
Right, so the child separation policy for misdemeanors was started by the trump administration
I have a friend who is here under the refuggee act
That's a great question.
Anyway, the Iranian money they paid us was given back under the Iran nuclear deal
@Indianathrones1 was not a question
I'm not seeing anything about crossing the border itself just being a misdemeanor
Yes is because it is in the title
Whops sorry, the payment to Iran was actually not in USD
@Cobra Commander yes, it is a misdemeanor
Where are you getting that it is a misdemeanor?
What do you think we’re talking about?
The US federal code
Where are you hearing otherwise?
From the source I just posted for one.
Here are some crimes considered more egregious (carry heavier penalty) than crossing the border illegally
Or did miss this?
Nowhere in your source does it suggest that it’s a felony
Do you think it does?
Anyway, here’s a list of more egregious crimes in the US federal code
Trespassing on National Forest lands
Ok my bad, the first illegal entry is a misdemeanor, any subsequent ones are felonies
Taking advantage of Smokey the Bear’s likeness
Purchasing fireworks
I really don't care about that
Possession of marijuana
I'm focusing on one topic
