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

You are correct, a crime is a crime. In a perfect world, we could address all the crime, regardless of how big or small, in America. Since it's not a perfect world, I'm more concerned with the "criminals" that hurt children and innocent Americans. Maybe in your part of the country, crimals don't kill kids and other innocent Americans. It sounds like your biggest concern are the "criminals" crossing the border. Hopefully one day my biggest concerns will be the border hoping crimals also. Unfortunatley for me, border hopping criminals have very low priority. I've got bigger fishes to worry about.
