Legal noun one that conforms to rules or the law
illegal 2 of 2 noun: a person who enters or lives in a country without the documentation required for legal entry or residence In this state, it is illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to drink alcohol.
The definitions from Webster makes these two words very clear.
Today, I asked my very liberal golf partner if he agreed. True to form, he said it depends on the severity.
So, I posed this question to him. In our beloved state, it is illegal to drive without insurance. I asked him this hypothetical but everyday occurring question. Let’s say you are driving down the road and someone plows through a stop sign and totals your car. Of course, that person has no insurance. You therefore are on the hook to have your insurance, you know the one you pay for, to cover your loss. Your deductible is $1,000.00 and your new vehicle is worth 35% less than when you drove it off the lot six months ago. So, you’re out quite a bit of money that YOU worked for.
Now, said person who performed an illegal act and broke a law at best gets fined at most $1,000 and NO jail time. That’s the law in Illinois.
Now, let’s say said offender not only totals your car but hurts two of your kids riding with you. He flees but is caught. He’s charged with leaving the scene which in Illinois is punishable by a $2,500 fine and a possible one-year jail sentence. But your kids have broken arms, cuts and bruises and will miss the soccer season because of injuries. No change in punishment for the “illegal action”, but your kids suffer, and you are hit with massive medical bills.
And that children is why we have laws to protect the innocent, NOT the illegals and the only problem is the punishment doesn’t fit the crime.
My liberal buddy says it’s different. I told him because one impacts him up close and personal and he doesn’t realize the other impacts him through acts of congress. Opinionated 1 Liberal 0

Exactly. I have a liberal friend in Georgia who green-lights just about any criminal act you can think up, unless, of course, it impacts him or anyone in his family. At that point, it becomes a big deal.
For instance, he pretty much blew off the Laken Riley rape and murder, because he knew Biden held the guy's hand helping him into the country 75 times. They don't care opi.Egg prices are dropping. Turns out if you stop killing millions of chickens, they lay more eggs.

Oh but here in the good ole USA they used to get a free Cell Phone, a Debit Card, housing in a 5 star NY hotel, and when they break the law they get a “Biden get out of jail free card” so they can continue to spread their terror. FYI, this is what the Left voted for! "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."

So if he deported 271,000, we still have several million who came over. In Trump's years, illegal entries were down so there weren't as many to deport.Promises Made, Promises Kept! Republicans stood, the liberal left wept.

Facts.
82% of those 271,000 were made by border security agents at the border in the campaign year. The word Is not deported, it is returned, apprehended at the border or close to the border , all within 2 to 3 hours conducted by CBP.
Source: CBS “Most of the deportations in fiscal year 2024 involved migrants who were apprehended by U.S. border officials, as opposed to those arrested by ICE in the interior of the country, the agency report shows. Roughly 82% of the 271,000 immigrants deported that year were first arrested by Customs and Border Protection. The rest were initially arrested by ICE in jails or during operations in communities.
This is a significant consideration MG.Jasmine Crockett makes AOC look like Margaret Thatcher.
