Why should he do that? They broke the law. - Well yeah they did break the law, but that shouldn't be illegal.

Illegal immigrants are called illegal because they're breaking the law. - Well yeah they did break the law, but that shouldn't be illegal.

Picking and choosing what laws should and shouldn't be enforced is something Democrats do. Trump isn't a Democrat.

The difference is whether a law is constitutionally sound. If it's a law that restricts a citizens constitutional rights then it shouldn't be enforced.

But if it's a law that effects a non-citizen's rights? I dont give half a shit as long as we aren't needlessly killing them in their own countries (not making blanket statements about our armed forces but if Obama was involved in the war it was probably poorly planned)

I agree on principle with what you're saying, however: An illegal is a non-citizen violating federal law. A citizen being jailed for exercising the rights guaranteed them by the US Constitution... not exactly the same thing. In fact, there's a Supremacy clause that I think should cover this, and Trump, if he were to have some input on it.
