That's not much of a difference, imo. They both decided not to follow U.S. immigration laws, they just made the decision at different points in time.
Actually, the real reason why this distinction exists is simply because the Immigration and Nationality Act has become such a convoluted patchwork job over the years that every time Congress tries to "fix" something, they just end up "breaking" something else. However, by the time Congress realizes they've broken something, it's usually not politically expedient to fix it.
