Frank I understand the problem of exiling someone who was brought here when he/she was not even aware of what was going on and it definitely does suck. It is unfair but life is not fair. What about kids that are citizens get caught with a quarter gram of crystal meth? Or what happens if in NYC you are caught for possession of pot? What happens is you get locked up. In my opinion I'd rather have my freedom, the gun story yes once again it sucks but again what would happen if I was caught driving with a gun in my car? Whether its mine/my dads/driving range or not? I get locked up once again. And the thief isnt here to loot or steal per say they do what they have to in order to survive true but that puts people in danger. what is YOUR alternative to this problem? So say that girl gets caught what do we do slap her wrists give her a citizenship and send her on her merry way? That shows a hell of a lot, hell I might want to become illegal and do all this shit if all i'm going to get is a slap on my wrist. You are great at arguing the cause however as half the people fighting for this cause you have yet to mention what we SHOULD do.
