Yep, the simple fact that they cross the border illegally, makes them criminals from day one. Shows they simply have no respect for the rule of law, any law, hence the problem. Are most simply looking for a better life, probably, BUT, at the expense of those legally extended that right, through birth, or legal entry. Sadly, too many, even if less per capital commit crimes, that doesn't relieve the pain and suffering from those families that endure the murders, rapes and violent crimes committed on them. Not to mention the hardships place on legal citizens or legal immigrants with now lower pay, and higher housing costs. Less public services available in a timely manner as public services taxed enough already with legal residents. There's laws for a reason, to protect and provide services for legal residents. Somehow that just doesn't click with some. @Lacessit
