couldn’t the politicians, and even police who refuse to enforce the immigration laws be charged with DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE? It seems to me there would be a good case for the charge.

Definition:

To constitute depraved indifference, the defendant’s conduct must be ‘so wanton, so deficient in a moral sense of concern, so lacking in regard for the life or lives of others, and so blameworthy as to warrant the same criminal liability as that which the law imposes upon a person who intentionally causes a crime. Depraved indifference focuses on the risk created by the defendant’s conduct, not the injuries actually resulting.

Sounds like an average politician to me.
