Law must apply to all. Today, perhaps always people THINK the only laws that need to be followed are those that they agree with. Being in the US on an EXPIRED VISA is a CRIME.

Why do you insist on changing the goalposts?
Someone said that illegal aliens are illegal aliens because they came into this country illegally.
The above statement is factually incorrect. Any time you make an "absolute" statement, it's important to make sure you're actually correct about that statement, or someone like me will call you out on it.
SOME illegal aliens are illegal aliens because they came here illegally. However, MOST illegal aliens came here legally, and are now, currently, here illegally because they haven't renewed their visas.
There are over 12 MILLION of illegal immigrants living in the USA. Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands crossed illegally over the southern border. But MOST of them came here by car right through the gates, with permission of border patrol. Or by plane, with their passports and visitor visas. Or through our northern border, from Canada, without so much as a passport to show for it because it wasn't required when they came through.
Many of them came by boat. Take a cruise ship, come in with your passport, and just - forget to get back on the ship when it sails. Easy peasy.
And many of them were kidnapped and smuggled in, by American citizens, to be sold in an incredibly ugly sex trade.
