What is with this conservative trend of treating illegal immigrants like criminals? Have they broken any laws?

Have they broken any laws?

Yes. BTW... they're illegal aliens. Immigrants come here with permission.

You're kidding, right? You used the phrase "illegal immigrants" in your question and then you ask if they have broken any laws? The key word here is "illegal" which means that they have violated the laws of the U.S.

While watching the local news in Houston and reading the Metro section of the paper, it is very evident that the illegal immigrants are leading in the crime statistics. Most reports on violent crime here these days feature somebody with a 'z' in his name. So the answer is YES.
