Your opinion is clear: People who don't deposit enough coins on a meter while doing an errand are criminals.
All I can say is that I disagree.
I personally believe illegally entering this country is as serious if not more serious than illegally entering someone's home. You chose to equate illegally entering this country with a parking violation, I do not see where they equate at all. The fact is any violation of law, when not faced up to becomes more serious and the results become more harsh.
I think each and every instance of illegal entry into this country should be a felony and the penalties should be quite harsh. It is a matter of security and sovereignty for this country. I am glad you understand my position on illegal immigration, I also understand yours. You think people should be able to flaunt the laws of this country and then we should all feel bad when it catches up to them.
You seem to think the only laws worth following are those you agree with. The fact is there are legal ways to enter this country and I do not condone anyone who enters without following the law.
