Entering the United States illegally is,duh,against the law,therefore,you are a criminal

They are criminals by definition.

What part of "illegal" do they not understand

They are criminals and should be treated as such

If you're illegal you ARE breaking the law. I have no sympathy for illegals that have been here for years and are surprised they're being deported. You've made no attempt whatsoever to become a citizen... bye bye

If someone overstays their visa while waiting on a hearing and working their asses off like the rest of america trying to chase the dream, so be it. But they need to be in the process, to get it done and making steps in the right direction concerning actually adding something to society rather than just bring a bunch of nonsense and drama and wind up drinking and driving and running someone off the road, or walking up and shooting a woman then getting to walk because he didn't know it wasn't okay to shoot someone.

Illegal = criminal. Deport them to the back of the line. However! Fix the immigration rules so that it does not take years to get a visa, tighten up the family following, immediate deportation for anyone overstaying their visa and build the wall.

We are a nation of laws and if we do not enforce our laws and we allow people to violate them without punishment we will descend into anarchy. We need to have a solid border, a well defined immigration policy and kind hearts

One of my thoughts about illegal immigrants crossing the border into Canada has these border jumpers put on a bus and transported as far north as a bus can take them. I'd say that's gotta be black fly and mosquito country in the warm weather and where frigid winds and snow blows in the winter. Talk about culture shock.

Answered your own question in your question. "Illegal"

If us as Canadian Citizens would br jailed for running across the border so should anyone else.

They should be sent home.

Unless this country has given someone permission to be here, Trespassers should handled by the executive branch, placed in confinement for a year and then returned to the border where they were found with a bus ticket to Peru. No judges required. They are not entitled to due process. The Executive branch, at its discretion, can issue certain permissions.

They are criminals.
They should be treated no differently than their home country would treat us for the same offense.

They shouldn't be treated at all.

The whole immigration system is broken. But then again you have to follow the money, especially on the large caravans how are all these people getting from one end of Mexico to the other ?
