So obviously your idea of immigration “reform” includes amnesty for all. No doubt that’s ideologically driven but instead of stating that you are cloaking it under the desire to “avoid potential bloodshed”. Shape and mold it however you want but “amnesty for all” is a deal breaker. Amnesty for some? Yes. But that’s a case by case deal…not a blanket “reform”.
Immigration laws that are currently on the books have been broken. Plain and simple. Have to deal with that first. How many other crimes have already been committed by some of the illegal aliens in this country? How many violent crimes? How much blood have they shed already?
US citizens that defend/harbor criminals of any kind then become criminals themselves and will be prosecuted accordingly. Citizens that use force, arms, bloodshed to defend criminals will receive harsher penalties. The nature of the the original crime is irrelevant in that regard.
