They do indeed have the right to disobey law in the sight of God, but they do not have the right to avoid consequence.My disagreement with your thinking is with the word right. No one has the right to disobey the law of the land. But a person can choose to obey or disobey. That choice is not a right. It is a personal decision. And yes, I do agree with you that a person disobeying the law will have to suffer the consequences.
The problem with our immigration laws is that the federal government chooses not to enforce its own laws. And the people paying the consequences are not the people breaking the law. The people paying the consequences are hard-working Americans who have to foot the bill for illegal aliens.

Since all rights of this land come from the Creator, as documented in the Constitution, everyone has the right to disobey a law that disagrees with the same Creator. That you would punish someone who obeys the Creator rather than the aberrant law is your choice as well.
That said, there is nothing about the immigration laws of the U.S. that conflict with the Creator.
