So it's not all that much different from your speeding problem, just a different court. You are both lawbreakers and should be punished under the law.
Now, there are many who want to make it a more serious crime...but that's another argument.

There are degree's of seriousness and punishishment in regards to civil offenses. The punishment for all civil offenses are not equal because some civil offenses are more serious than others. Speeding to illegal border crossing are not equal offenses and the argument that are equal does not hold water..
