Let's say a starving and thirsting person came to my house -- the only house within miles -- and I had a sign saying, "No trespassing," and he came through the gate and knocked my door, anyway. Yes, I guess I could tell him I was going to call the cops and have him hauled off for trespassing, but is pressing for enforcement of the law the right thing to do when it comes at the expense of someone who is in need?
I wish we applied this same principle to immigration. Charity can be more important than rule of law.
