It's utterly absurd bigotry, to say because you happened to be born on one side of an imaginary line you're better than everyone else and get to put up a fence and say no one gets through.

It's utterly absurd bigotry, to say that because you happen to be born inside an imaginary alliance (family) that you're entitled to your parents inheritance and get to put up a fence and say no one gets a slice.

It's just as insane to say somebody's nation is arbitrary as it is to say somebody's familial status is arbitrary.

Ah yes, the old "they broke a law coming here so they are automatically criminals" fallacy.

Yeah, that ol' chestnut of "criminals are criminals", nothing fallacious in that statement.

By that logic, anybody who speeds (just about everyone nowadays), jaywalks (also a lot of people), uses marijuana (still federally illegal) and a host of other laws that normal people break daily, makes us all hardened criminals.

No, an illegal immigrant is equivalent to a shop lifter. They could have gone through the legal channels but they decided it's more convenient/cheaper to skip legal methods.

We're not fond of shoplifters so we're not fond of illegal immigrants.
