Unauthorized immigrants did break the law. Enforce the laws of this country & close the border. Now how the hell are we supposed to tell the motives of a border crosser & why should we have to. Deport them all as the law requires.
Unauthorized immigrants? They are illegal aliens as determined by US Code. Call it what it is and stop minimizing the act. They broke our laws and need to leave. Immigration is controlled for a reason.
