The point here is that to refer to all immigrants as "criminals" just so they can be detained and deported is a very "un-woke" thing to do, and one which I will not tolerate. 

 

No one is saying that all immigrants are criminals. You are making stuff up. Show me where someone said all immigrants are criminals.

Forget about the murder victim.  He’s gone.

 

Now, focus on the illegal aliens due process and make sure he gets plenty of visits (even conjugal)  from male leadership of the Democratic Party.

 

Since it’s California, Adam Schiff should be up for the job.

Both as an active duty Federal Agent and as a retired Federal Agent, it is my understanding that, anyone that commits a violation of a criminal law, is a criminal, regardless of whether or not they have been charged with violation of that criminal law.

 

But not in Lefty Bizzaro world.

In a chilling twist, hours after Modebadze’s body was discovered, police found another Israeli businessman, Meni Hidhra — the brother of a prison warden in Israel — murdered in his home in the same neighborhood.

 

I'm reminded of the famous quote from Ian Fleming's Goldfinger:

“Mr Bond, they have a saying in Chicago: 'Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action'.”

I define "criminal" as someone who has committed a criminal act. No charge, conviction or even witnesses are necessary to be a criminal.

Yes, that's how all the "un-woke", MAGA supporters use the term, also. They don't believe any due process is necessary. They believe just the suspicion or assumption that someone has committed a criminal act makes them a criminal. That is the root of this and many other problems between the "un-woke" MAGA supporters and the "woke" liberals. It's very hard to discuss something when you're both not using the same meaning for terms relevant to the issue. 

WDSmart, first you comment on my post with a whole paragraph of self-importance,

and then, after a day or two, you post the very some sentiment I posted, which you earlier debated and apparently now agree with, namely:

I just can't decide whether you are reformed or just weird...

There are many people (MAGA supporters) who believe all immigrants, whether they have a visa or not, should be treated like criminals. This and other forum topics are full of their posts.

I am neither reformed nor weird. I'm woke. 

Yes, I also believe a "criminal" is someone who has committed a crime. My point is, and always has been, that to call someone a criminal, you first must KNOW they committed a crime, not just SUSPECT them of committing a crime. If that's the case, they are a "suspect," not a "criminal," or you could call them a "criminal suspect." 
"A criminal suspect is a person who is believed to have committed a crime, but has not yet been found guilty. In criminal law, a suspect is someone who is under suspicion, often formally announced as being under investigation by law enforcement officials. If a suspect received an arrest warrant, they might then be identified as a defendant; and after the suspect was convicted or found guilty, they would be called an offender."

You made a claim it needs backed up. Show me precise posts saying all immigrants are criminals. 

 

Otherwise you're just talking rubbish.

Aleksandre Modebadze ran a cannabis shop. His own family said he had loaned the suspects, fellow Georgians, money, and called a meeting because he wanted it back. They killed him. So this was a legalised drug dealer giving loans to illegal, living on the lam, immigrants. Seems pretty shady. The suspects were found with $60k in cash

 

Manny Hidra was stabbed with a screw driver. Hidra had been dead for 3 days before being discovered during a welfare check. A 27 year old, Erick Escamilla, was arrested at hospital where he was receiving treatment. Escamilla is described as a part time vagrant, living occasionally with his mother, or on the street. He had previously been arrested by the police in February for trespass. There is no suggestion he was an illegal immigrant. The implication is he was committing burgulary and was suprised by the victim, and a struggle ensud. The victom's nationality and religion was never a factor.

 

So coincidence.

Yes, A criminal is someone who has committed a crime. My point is, how do YOU KNOW someone has committed a crime unless you see them commit the crime yourself, they admit to it, or they are found guilty by due process. Otherwise, you're just taking someone else's accusation that they committed a crime. 

Really?   It is unlikely that today, there is anyone born in the United States that is not in some database, as having been born in the U.S. of A., which means that person is legally a U.S. of A. citizen and is legally in the U.S. of A. 

Conversely, if a person is not in a database as having immigrated legally into the United States, through an authorized port of entry, with the legal documents proving that the person did legally enter the United States, but the person is physically in the United States, then it is highly likely that person violated an immigration law, and entered the U.S. of A., illegally and thus, is a criminal for having violated a criminal law.  

 

As to "do YOU KNOW", I assume you are making a reference to a generic you, and not me personally. 

 

I am curious.  Have you ever worked in the field of law enforcement, in which you investigated violations of law, and gathered the evidence that was used to convict someone in a criminal court of law?

and Trump being elected president is proof of your non sense statement, the guy was convicted as a criminal

Have I ever, to your knowledge, denied that?

I agree with most everything you've said above, but I'd expect all this to be done following due process. In other words, I don't think an ICE agent should be able to stop anyone on the street, demand proof of their citizenship or visa status, and if they couldn't produce that on the spot, detain them and deport them without further due process. 

And, yes, my "...how do YOU KNOW,,,?" was a generic reference. I could have written, "...how does ONE KNOW,,,?"

I have never worked in law enforcement, investigated violations of the law, or gathered evidence to be used in a court of law. I have only learned about these from reading about them or seeing them portrayed in movies.
