Illegal Aliens

Why do some consider having a job, longtime resident and being a nice person just cause for absolution of a crime?

If an employed nice guy is later discovered to be a murderer, would his job and demeanor be justification for forgetting his crime and letting him go free?

If a bank robber is found 10 years after the fact, but everyone likes him at the manufacturing plant he works at, should the bank robber be left alone and not incarcerated?

Of course not. Both the murderer and the bank robber must be arrested and tried for their crimes.

So, why do people give illegal aliens a pass based on the same reasons? Nice guy, has a job, been here awhile are usually the justifications given for permitting a criminal to stay.

Why?
