Why would I prioritize someone that violated a law or is here as a result of violating a law?

The real question though is why is OK for some laws to be broken without consequence? Why is it right to pick and chose which ones to ignore?

We can't chose which laws we will not break and which ones we will not look the other way.

If we chose to break a law we have to be prepared for the consequences. When I break the speed limit I must pay a fine when caught. However if I am driving recklessly I may lose my license or go to jail.

If I kill or injure someone - breaking a law - I have a penalty to pay.

When immigrants have come here illegally, they have broken a law.

I don't always like it. But the law is the law.
