I don't understand why we want people here illegally to feel safe and comfortable. We want them to use our emergency services and show up to court without fear? Are other law breakers given such courtesy? If you're in a wreck while driving a stolen vehicle and you call 911, are the responding police supposed to politely overlook that fact so as not to discourage people from calling for help when they need it? Is being here illegally just not THAT illegal? It seems like it's on par with speeding -- you can mostly get away with it as long as you aren't being too crazy, and even then you might just get a warning.
