People who lack appropriate documentation lack it as a result of implementation of legislation that isn't reasonably justified. People who lack such documentation are illegal because an individual or group has decided they are illegal despite having committed no criminal act unrelated to how they came to be in the country, rather than because being in the country without appropriate documentation is inherently wrong, because it isn't. The statute is founded upon the notion of malum prohibitum; it's wrong because there exists a statute that prohibits it.
You literally inferred from my comments that I'm something that I'm not, and conveyed as much.
You got called out on it and you've since attempted to change the context into that of a joke. Like I said, the sarcasm defense is having a bit of a moment.
I don't have the slightest idea. Perhaps it's a compulsion. Maybe you think others stupid when they're actually not. Could be something else that hasn't occurred to me.
What scare quotes? You didn't utilize either scare quotes or quotation marks when referring to the ability of supposed communists in the US to purchase offensive statues of Lenin:
Stop lying.When communists in the US can buy offensive statues of Lenin, Russians can buy "offensive" statues from the US too.
I wonder who was bigger mass murderer Lenin or Roosevelt?

Insomuch as "cancel culture" even exists, it's a natural byproduct of two things conservatives/Republicans always loudly proclaim to love: the free market and freedom of expression.
The lack of documentation isn't meaningful because documentation isn't meaningful. Documentation in this instance merely indicates that an individual is exempt from prosecution for violation of a statute that isn't reasonably justified.
The point is that you've demonstrated a propensity to cast labels upon individuals with whom you disagree, labels that themselves hit wide of the mark, when you've previously demonstrated contempt for this exact tactic.
So you didn't actually mean "maybe communist" and are confirming the original label wasn't sarcastic as you indicated at one point? You're all over the place.
I just read that Biden wants to make the owners of "assault weapons" (which is what they call almost every gun, nowadays) register them with the government, and also pay a $200 fee for doing so.
Here, in California they tried the same thing about 2 years ago. It was "mandatory", and failure to comply would subject you to "fines and/or imprisonment." I know tons of people who legally own AR-15s, and none of them did it. Never even considered it.
0.0% <-- This is the percentage of cops who would be interested in trying to confiscate those weapons and arrest those people.
So, um yeah, good luck with that.

Aaaaaaaaaand GO!!!

Yes, if the drivers to do so we’re sufficiently motivating.
Yes, if we leave aside the illegal - undocumented part, we have this https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/learners/apply-citizenship and this https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/employment/temporary-worker-visas.html
but since I'm able to follow the context I think you mean legalization of undocumented immigrants. Which is achieved through legislature and not by saying that undocumented immigrants are not problem. Part of the issue why there is no such legislation is that proponents of legalization and immigration reform have not presented new or innovative ways to legalize this population while accounting for the criticisms and worries of opponents.
How so, I'm saying that documentation is needed for other legal activities, such as employment, did you know that illegal immigrants face an estimated wage penalty of 11.3 percent relative to legal immigrants?
Or do you think that labor market regulations are not reasonably justified too or that citizens should not have control over migration into their own country?
Yes, but far-left is using this tactic to shut up the dissent (sometimes even in real-life) and I'm using it to exaggerate impression that some people give here, so they can think about what they say and how it sound to people with different viewpoint.
scare quotes
noun
plural noun: scare quotes; noun: scare quote; plural noun: scarequotes
- quotation marks placed round a word or phrase to draw attention to an unusual or arguably inaccurate use.
I used it to indicate arguably inaccurate use, because even "maybe communist" is arguably innacurate.
My whole original post was in tongue-in-cheek style about funny story covering buying of "offensive" statues. So again exaggeration on purpose.
yes they are, as illegal aliens but that's not desirable for anybody
but it's true, I would either register and pay the fee to comply or risk punishment. And I would contact my elected representatives about the issue and/or vote in different representatives who better represent my opinions.
I mean, besides working on construction crews, in fields and on farms, cleaning houses, bus tables, cook food and a whole lot of other not illegal jobs that undocumented workers actually do? I man, look, I get the gist of what your after. Just not savvy on your view of the situation. You are looking at it to black and white. Personally however, I think you know this and are simply enjoying the attention your garnering and the irriation your dispatching.
Amusingly, even one of Fox's anchors put his foot down over some of it last night.
