No Human Being Is Illegal

Continuing in the vein of my last post, today I bring you another fantastic bumper sticker that doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. (And if you think I have a penchant for bumper stickers, you’d be right. After all, I spend about 90 minutes in my car every day, so I’m bound to come across interesting material eventually.) As the title suggests, a bumper sticker currently exists which reads as follows: “No Human Being Is Illegal”. In fact, you can buy some for your friends and family right here for only $10 a pop (be sure not to miss other interesting/inane links on the AFSC site as well).

Honestly, I would agree with the bumper sticker if it weren’t for the fact that people who enter this country illegally are guilty of committing a federal crime. Maybe I’m just being nitpicky, or maybe it’s clearly spelled out in Section 1325 of Title 8 of the U.S. Code. Either way, it’s only been a law since 1929, so I would expect some people to protest it while its still fresh on the books.
