I've got to disagree with you in practice, although your heart is in the right place.
I do believe that anyone in this country is subject to the same rights and protection under the law. If you are here illegally, you should get a fair hearing, and then you should be deported. We should secure our borders so those same people can not return. You broke the law by coming illegally, and you are not welcome here for (as it currently stands) ten years. If you commit a crime here, you are punished, as we would anyone else, and THEN you are deported.
If we start taking away protective rights, eventually that same logic will be twisted into use against us. I would rather have a system in place for dealing with illegals within the criminal justice system than allow the police to become even MORE used to riding roughshod over our rights.
"In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist; And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist; And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew; And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up." Martin Niemoller, 1955
