16. They are civil status violators. Do you want them to be criminals?.
Illegal entry or overstaying a visa is not a crime, they are civil infractions.

How many billions of dollars would you like to spend to round them all up as criminals? How many cells should we construct? What other public priorities would you like to forego? These are real questions that have to be answered in a sensible way by the restrictionists before anyone will take them seriously.
