illegal immigration is a crime?

So there really isn't a difference between the European and Mexican ..

If you think that the United States of America was built, established, by Mexicans then you are welcome to it. You can see what they built south of the Texas border.

They end up in jail for contempt, not for the speeding ticket.

But the point still stands that a civil offense CAN eventually lead to jail proving THIS statement:

You're not going to jail for a civil offense and it's not dealt with by law enforcement.

Utterly FALSE!

Missing your court hearing is a criminal offense. The ticket is a civil offense, skipping your properly summoned hearing is a criminal offense. Thus jail.

So don't skip hearings, even for civil matters, without proper cause.

Missing your court hearing was just an example I gave off the top of my head. You're STILL missing the big point:

Even if you fail to PAY your speeding ticket a warrant will be sent out for your arrest. This rule applies even to low income people with NO income.

So yeah, civil offenses CAN and DO sometimes lead to jail. There is no point in trying to debate or argue this point.
