When you live in the land of Oz

Is this judge up for re-election in a predominantly Hispanic and Liberal district?

Because that’s the only reason I can come up with for this kind of illogical asinine ruling.

A Kansas judge has ruled that an illegal immigrant’s unauthorized entry into this country is illegal, but his continued presence once he’s here isn’t illegal.

Uh. What?

While unauthorized entry into the United States is illegal, being in the country after having entered illegally is not necessarily a crime, according to a new ruling by the Kansas Court of Appeals.

In a Barton County case, a three-judge panel issued an opinion Friday that a judge could not deny probation and order jail time for convicted drug dealer Nicholas L. Martinez based solely on the grounds that Martinez is an unauthorized immigrant.

“While Congress has criminalized the illegal entry into this country, it has not made the continued presence of an illegal alien in the United States a crime…

So…by this logic…if I break into your house, that’s illegal. But my continued presence there isn’t? Or let’s get a little more extreme and a little more personal: If I rape a woman — the actual penetration is illegal. But as long as I remain “inside” of her, the “continued presence” of my penis inside of her isn’t a crime?

If you entered this country illegally, you have broken the law and you are a criminal. Period.

And you should be rounded up by any and all means (and as rapidly as possible) and deported back to your home of origin. And then an invoice should be sent to your home country’s government for the cost of arresting and deporting you. And, if you were found to be in the employ of an American company, that company should have to pay at least half of your deportation costs, along with a hefty fine for violating the law.
