Does someone who enters the United States without clearing customs and receiving permission to enter, does such a person commit a crime? Should people who commit crimes have consequences? If the crime involves entering a sovereign country without permission, wouldn't the logical consequence be to be removed from that country? Whether enforcing laws is difficult or not, shouldn't we all agree about what constitutes a crime and what doesn't? Shouldn't we seek to enforce laws that are "on the books?"

What kind of thinking makes it more complicated than this?

It has been unfortunate to see the immigration issue become such a pervasive problem to which so very few want to approach with common sense and the desire to fix a very real problem in a credible way. The back and forth between the Right and Left, with one side engaging in histrionic and the other refusing to acknowledge there's even a problem, is allowing the problem to compound itself.
