I don’t know if it’s “entrapment” or “complicity”. Those who would cross our national boundaries without the legal documentation have been enticed into doing an illegal act (1) by employers who will look the other way and hire them; and (2) by the U.S. government that eased the way for them to enter by not enforcing the boundaries set in law to funnel them into a legal port of entry. The employers and the government are complicit in the crime of illegal immigration. The federal government is the law-breaker by default. The differing economic conditions on each side of the border set up the conditions for entrapment. I have not read the covering law. Our representatives, legislative, executive and judicial, are our servants. It seems to me that we all share the guilt by proxy.
Is it both a form of entrapment and complicity as well? Or one but not the other? Or neither? What is the legalese answer to the use of those terms in this case?
