United States citizens have a right of access to the courts. If that right is extended to illegal aliens, then you can forget any kind of control over immigration at all. Our borders will be wide open. Or, as one Democrat said recently, it's illegal to cross the border illegally, but it's not illegal to be in the country illegally.
The prospect of spending money on police, jails, public defenders, and judges for every single illegal alien who gets into the country is simply inconceivable. You'd might as well just drop the whole idea of citizenship, and say that anybody who wants to come to America and live here is welcome to, and they can register with the Demcrats too, and get free schooling and medical care, and they don't have to pay social security or taxes.
In other words, a complete breakdown of our entire legal system, rendering the concept of citizenship meaningless.

mmmm in case you haven't noticed....they have already done that.
What I think happened in this case is he did what 1000's of other illegal overstays do. They recieve a notice and then do not show up to court (false address etc).
The operative fact is that they are not LEGALLY in this country and you have to LEGALLY enter to have the benefits.

An administrative hearing on the facts:
1. is he the person in question
if yes, then go to question 2
2. did he enter illegally.
if yes, then the first bus out.
