like I said above, voice your opinions to your lawmakers to change the laws or vote out the lawmakers you disagree with. If you cant do that then obviously there isnt enough support to your opinion and the laws should be enforced as they currently stand.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but since you repeated this quote, I'm assuming you're trying to say that sodomy and adultery should continue to be prosecuted until the laws are changed. This is the kind of mentality that's jokingly referred to as "lawful stupid" -- not calling you stupid, it's just the name of the trope.
Prosecuting everything "because it's the law" means not being able to use discretion to prioritize the cases that are most important toward keeping society safe. If anyone thinks that deporting illegal immigrants should be a high priority, make the case for that position. Don't hide behind "it's the law," because being the law doesn't make it morally correct or mean that you can't apply discretion as to when it's enforced.
May as well make drugs and murder legal too since you can't catch every junkie, dealer and assassin; clearly it's just a waste of resources.
This is a logical fallacy called reductio ad absurdum. The war on drugs has been a colossal failure, but getting murderers off has obvious benefits.

It isn't, but I don't think you're one to accept facts that don't align with your beliefs.
Oh hai, I'm that person who frequently cites statistics and articles while you're here presenting your opinion as fact with nothing to back it up. Here, I've got an article for you to read with lots of citations explaining why mass deportations will hurt the economy. Somehow I doubt this will affect your opinion on the subject though.
Youre choosing laws to completely ignore on a whim. Not laws to enforce to a lesser degree. If a law is not worth enforcing entirely then it should be removed from the books, but if you cant garner the support to remove that law from the books then ipso facto it has enough support to at least be enforced to some reasonable degree. ---
