When a burglar breaks into my house, and is apprehended, a Court imposes a fitting judgement.

It can be incarceration, it can be a fine and retribution, the charges may even be dismissed and yes, the rule of law has been upheld.

It doesn't have to mean jail does it?

BTW, try better arguments, that simple crap doesn't fly.

It means the burglar gets out of the house.

Non sequitor, Luis. If a burglar breaks into your house, and can simply go to the police station before he's caught and pay a fine in order to avoid prosecution, then the rule of law has not been served. That's a much more accurate scenario than the one you put forth.

You're trying to argue as if a single case may be dismissed for one reason or another, rather than facing the obvious fact that violation of some laws has been nullified by an act of Congress for a certain group of people who aren't citizens.

Why do you want Mexicans who have broken our laws to be excused and allowed to stay ostensibly to become citizens? Are you desperate enough for people to converse with in Spanish that you'd risk letting Mohammed Farzuq, alias Jorge Obregon set off a nuke and kill your children? That's exactly what this kind of legislation at this particular time could cause.

You need to wake up, son. This is a security issue, not a case of mass xenophobia. People who have violated immigration regulations need to be sent home and barred from reentry. If that includes those who don't intend us harm, then that's a small price to pay. We're at war, and the war is going to be waged against us here at home by people who come from elsewhere. Everyone who came here from somewhere else is supect and has to be checked out. The flow of people from outside our borders also has to be checked, no matter the cost. The alternative is national suicide.
