We either have laws or we don't. They are enforced or .....why bother? Either breaking our laws is a "thing" or it isn't. SOME illegals are not better than others. Sorry, but I know people who have been struggling, bleeding out money to support these illegals. They even have lost their homes because they could not keep up with the unconstitutional taxation. I really have no sympathy for those who have leeched on the American people for a very long time. It's long past time to put America and OUR people first.
I concur. Luckily, our system of justice and law - while ideally blind - is not without reason and common sense, and allows for mitigating (and aggravating) circumstances. So while a daca recipient is here illegally, the fact they are not here of their own volition is certainly a mitigating circumstance, and likely an affirmative defense.
If I kidnap someone and take them to a military base without authorization, we are both in violation of the law. The person I kidnapped shouldn't be charged, and if they are, the fact I kidnapped them provides both a mitigating circumstance and an affirmative defense.
True, the person couldn't then live on base, lol. But it shouldn't keep them out of the military.
