The fines allocated for illegal immigration and speeding are quite similar. I think the law stipulates 50-250 dollars for a first violation for a basic immigration violation.
It's precisely why we have such a problem, the penalites are very weak and there's little ability for the vast majority of law enforcement to do anything about it.
