    my mom believes that we’re being “invaded” by illegals. i said, “stop using that term. it’s offensive and racist.”

    “that’s what they are. they broke the law,” she shot back.

    “and you’re offensive and racist. and i suppose that means you’re an illegal, too, since you jaywalked earlier?” I replied.

    “illegal immigrants are felons!” she shouted at me.

    “like Trump? so, he’s a 34-times illegal, then? and you’re voting for him?”

    “that’s different!” she screamed

    there’s no reasoning with these people

      It’s my understanding that illegally entering the country is a misdemeanor, and illegally reentering the country is a felony. It is an amplifying action for a huge number of other felonies though. Am I wrong? 8* Usc section 1325 vs 8 Usc section 1326.
