Does someone who enters the United States without clearing customs and receiving permission to enter, does such a person commit a crime? Should people who commit crimes have consequences? If the crime involves entering a sovereign country without permission, wouldn't the logical consequence be to be removed from that country? Whether enforcing laws is difficult or not, shouldn't we all agree about what constitutes a crime and what doesn't? Shouldn't we seek to enforce laws that are "on the books?"

What kind of thinking makes it more complicated than this?
