True that many are conservative in principal, but when the first act of a person is to enter our country illegally and break our laws doing that, then they have become an intruder. Just as a person who enters your home without your consent is an intruder. Anyone who is an intruder or an invader must be repelled at all cost. Only when they are willing to leave and re-enter legally are they welcome.

I would not sit by and let someone come into my home without either forcing them out or killing them on the spot.

I concur with your point 100%.

Why is this so difficult for people to think of this on their own - especially when mostly everyone thinks that they (themselves) are "smart" ?

Just put the shoe on the other foot. What happens if an American goes to almost every other country ? They're a prime target for arrest, along with crime, attack, kidnap, etc. Not only does the local government not bend over backwards to help them - they'll arrest them in a heartbeat if they break any LOCAL laws. In other words, go to Mexico. Overstay your visa, get a job "off the books". Try to stay there and hide out and earn a living, as in a case where you've got legal troubles in the U.S. and want to spend the rest of your life in Mexico bartending or something, and you don't want any official records, you just want to hide.

Good luck. Doubtful any Mexican government folks are going to "cut you a break". Instead, you're much more likely to be shaken down, jailed, deported back to the U.S., etc. No one is coming to your aid.

Now, translate that situation to America - illegals have special interest groups, lawyers - even the government itself bending over backwards to roll out the red carpet for them.

Simple logic, common law: other than basic human rights, a citizen of nation A has zero rights in nation B, which has no obligation to nation A's citizens other than, again, basic human rights, such as a quick feeding and immediate deportation in the case of illegal invaders. But the "human rights" things trips up everyone, because most people have not dusted off their Bibles in decades, so they have made up their own morality (I guess 6 billion people are entitled to become U.S. citizens). Biblically, it's fairly easy to see the true moral obligations of civil government, including how it should treat non-citizens. Nations certainly "should" be following basic moral law, perfectly laid out in Scripture. However, there simply is no moral requirement that a nation grant citizenship to whoever asks for it.
