Those Who Cry 'Illegal' Might be Advocating that Which is Illegal

What part of the word "illegal" don't you understand? I'm asking that question from a little different perspective than usual, and I'm asking it of those who oppose unlicensed immigration. If we have certain unalienable rights, and if it is wrong to try to take those rights away from us, then we should consider that our laws against immigration are illegal.
If just wanting to breathe and exist on American soil is life, if just wanting to not be arrested and deported when you have done nothing wrong is liberty, and if just wanting to come to America is the pursuit of happiness, then these are unalienable rights. They cannot be altered by borders, nor by government, nor by the popular opinion.
Who is being illegal? Who is advocating illegal activity? With this thought, perhaps it is those who oppose unlicensed immigration, not those who practice it.
