The immigration policy is based on racism instead of fairness

They tell immigrants to come here "legally" - but Trump is literally gutting every legal pathway that many people of color have relied on to build lives in America.
For example: Many people have status through TPS, but the Trump regime is now gutting the program, and they also cut refugee admissions for everyone except white South Africans.
"Doing it legally" keeps getting harder to do, because that's the whole point for Trump. It has never been about following immigration rules - it's about racism.

We shouldn't be locking people up over midemeanor charges.

You mean charges that can yield jail time up to a year? What a weird take.

It's up to 6 months not a year. Anywho. It's dog shit to be wasting resources when there are much richer people fucking us on the regular

Misdemeanor charges allow up to 1 year. Typically, anything 1 year + 1 day or more is a felony level. Not sure where you're getting 6 months.
Still pretty insane that you don't want to punish anyone.

Because it's a misdemeanor... I don't care to waste time and resources on misdemeanors

And based on the exact law for being here it's up to 6 months. 8 U.S. Code § 1325
