Thank you, case close.

How is that case closed? Many illegal aliens didn't cross the border illegally. And even for those that did, deportation may be a disproportionally severe penalty. We generally require that a punishment be proportional to the crime committed, and it's hardly unreasonable for people to have differing opinions about whether a particular consequence is appropriate for a particular crime. Again, that's why we have different consequences for people who commit petty theft than for mass murder - even though both are criminals.

Just because you don't want to engage with an argument doesn't mean it's not a valid argument.
