Which has been one of my tenets on this since I joined the board and its dicussion. In discussions it wailed up that they are criminals, but based on the level of the crime, they are no more a criminal than I was when I used to floor my car between LaJunta and Walsenburg (sp?) Co.
If they really want to change the immigration pattern, quit treating it as a misdemeanor and make it a felony with the attendant year+ jail time. That won't stop it but once word gets around it will darn sure slow it down.
