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.
