So basically because it is hard and/or difficult to accomplish you are then advocating non-enforcement of the law? How do you reconcile that with "The most dangerous laws are the ones that are only enforced when the cops feel like it. It means that you depend on the cops' goodwill, so they can do as they please and nobody dares to argue. That way lies bribery and corruption. " (Leo9)

They have, after all, done nothing more than intrude upon land that does not belong to them. And they offer more than they will take.

In England and Wales, trespass is not a crime, for very good reasons. Unfortunately for these people, trespassing beyond a national border is.

So you can pull me up for making a false distiction between "illegal" and "criminal" but, in fact, there is one.

As for imprisoning the illegal aliens, we bang them up for months, not just one, and we keep their kids in gaol too. And we're not above separating mother from child, even to the exgtent of deporting one, but not the other. It doesn't work, so forget it.
