If you call the police when someone comes to your door, and you DO NOT ENGAGE with the person at your door, and the police show up, and they ask that person if they have a license to solicit - and that person does not - then they have ALREADY committed the crime of trespass. The "intent to commit a crime" is "soliciting without a license." That's why they showed up at your door. Two things happened here. First, they intended to solicit without a license. Then, they came to your house with that intent to commit that crime, which makes them illegal trespassers.

I mean jeez louise it's such a simple concept, think of them as illegals crossing the border, and it should make perfect sense.
It is simple but you just aren’t getting it. That’s okay, believe whatever you want to believe. If you feel strongly enough about it then call the sheriff - I’m sure they will rush out to help you answer the door and tell someone you aren’t interested… if they haven’t already moved on.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
