Americans are so fucking stupid about their "illegal immigrants". The propaganda has wiped your reasoning into oblivion.

I lived in the USA for about 10 years, half in NYC and half in NorCal and a bit in Austin. Over half that time I was "illegal". I mooched NOTHING. I contributed a metric fuck tonne. And I overpaid taxes when I was making 6 figures (anticipating that I'd get a refund, but I never filed).

"Legality" is just a fancy way of oppressing people.

Instead of worrying about what rights you can take away from others, you should consider trying to reclaim so many that you've lost - and maybe even sharing them with others.

If that won't cause you any trouble, would you mind sharing how you got into USA in the first place? Illegally like in some caravan looking for a passage through the borders, or illegally as a strictly technical term?

Before 9/11 one could cross borders freely between Canada and the USA. In the 80s we didn't need I.D. By the 90s we did. After 9/11 they demanded passports. They relaxed a bit after that but I.D. was still necessary, and even still I got turned around a few times for no reasonable reason. Now the borders are locked.

I now live in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, directly south of Detroit's Belle Island out my window across the river, yet I haven't been to the states since 2008 for Burning Man. My landlady lives in Michigan, but now she can't come here to manage the little flood in my basement (tree roots just keep coming).

I had some work visas to animate in Manhattan in 1996, 1998, and 2004. Part of that was just staying there in my apartment and finding "friendly" work. Between I returned to work in Canada, for weddings, etc. I also attended Burning Man from 1999-2008. Sometimes I'd stay for more. Sometimes I'd visit friends and stay. There was no pattern or secret. It was just the circumstances of my life happened to straddle borders and more than half the time I had no issues at the border.

I was a skeptic of 9/11 since the first week when the MSM answers were as muddy as their COVID coverage, but since then I've become more outspoken and more active than just voting Green, so I don't know if I'm on lists or not but it wouldn't surprise me.

Obviously your case is not the typical "illegal immigrant" case, where a third world caravan enters through some hole in the fence and basically ends up taking advantage of the system. I think the irony is obvious, you need a passport and go through the hoops to enter from Canada, but it's like the system looks the other way if you enter through some passage all the way from some underdeveloped country.

Whatever "typical" means. In my limited experience in the US I ran into countless people from other nations, many legal and many illegal, and few that would even come close to "typical".

Don't buy into the propaganda hype. Most "illegals" are far better citizens than the legal ones, if for no other reason than they can't afford to run in with the law for obvious reasons.

I also hired help from outside the Home Depot to work on the production I directed. I even found them free healthcare (the free Haight-Ashbury Clinic) for their chronic problems. I went out of my way for them because they were all good people. Maybe I just got lucky.

Ironically at the same time, and very sadly, I also hired an American who had serious problems that ended tragically. I ignorantly funded Paul's notorious act of Burning Man "anarchist vandalism". For years people in our circles joked that the Man would burn early on Wednesday instead of Saturday, in part to add chaos to the cacophony and in part to return to the authentic rule-free anarchy of the earlier years. Every year Burning Man added more and more rules and regulations due to normies, idiots, and abusers of the freedoms in our autonomous Black Rock City. In 2007 Paul set the Burning Man statue on fire early in a audacious stunt that would rival any James Bond movie. I now know what he was cryptically alluding to mysteriously for so long. Later he tried to set a church on fire in San Francisco for some reason, and even later committed suicide. He had serious issues beyond just those I mentioned, but ultimately he actually was a good person in his heart, haunted by demons.

On the way to the airport I lost my passport in a Manhattan cab in 2004. I moved back to Canada, then SF, then Ottawa, then Oakland via Mexico, then Victoria, then Burning Man again, and back to Vancouver in 2008 - and never was my passport critical. It didn't hurt that I'm a 6' white dude and had my dream girlfriend for much of that. I can't speak on the last dozen years.

Not sure about USA, but that is definitely not the case in parts of Europe. Illegals do afford to run in with the law, because the consequences are a joke to them. They can be arrested again and again and then out of jail in no time and more often than not crime is their actual way of living. We have Albanian mafia, Nigerian mafia and so on, and there is not a single day without some heinous crime committed by illegal immigrants. And we are talking about crimes that were unheard of before, like torturing and murdering old people to steal their mobile phone and some cash and so on.

Obviously there might be some good people among them, but the odds are not favorable.

"not the case in parts of Europe"

Indeed, fair enough. There you've got sanctioned illegals' illegal activity. Say that 3 times fast.

Our "leaders" are at war with their peoples on every level.

I'll ignore the backhand and take the compliment as I don't need to prove my value here, least of all to you.
