I know of no other country where you don't get thrown in jail for crossing the border illegally, and especially none that rewards you for said crime with preferential treatment above and beyond those privileges afforded to its legal residents.
If a nation can't distinguish between citizen and non-citizen, then being a citizen has no meaning, and sovereignty of the nation is therefore corrupt.
If the President can pick and choose which laws duly passed by congress he will enforce... and which he will knowingly and willfully ignore... then where do we draw the line? That's a dangerous precedent to set. Shall we also look the other way for misappropriation of funds, or illegal search and seizures, maybe voter fraud... what is the difference? A law is broken, and some future president may just say,"That's ok, because this fraud voter is under the age of 32, he's free to go." So I agree, the precedent set by this administration scares me too. No member of either political party should support disregard for the Constitution and its separation of powers, for while it may serve your party's immediate political expediency, the precedent it sets is a far more dangerous price to pay for that advantage.
