"Come here legally, and you are very welcome indeed. Come here illegally and you are no better than any other two-bit criminal. You deserve to be treated as such, not welcome guests."
That is a ridiculous statement. How can you compare a "criminal" like the guy who killed his 11 month old kid, his wife, the inlaws, kidnapped 3 little girls in Georgia to someone who jumps the border in hopes of making an honest living? A "two-bit criminal" has a serious meaning where I come from. Only fools use it loosely.

someone who jumps the border in hopes of making an honest living? An illegal alien is by definition dishonest.

Nope, crime is crime. Granted they may have differing punishments, but you do not reward crime. Crossing the border illegally is a crime and this amounts to rewarding criminals for their crime

I know you weren't addressing me, but isn't a two-bit criminal one who engages in more of the misdemeanor types of crimes, as opposed to those who murder Americans? They would then be called vicious criminals?
