In other words - we don't know who they even are. Just that they're furtive and evading authorities.

The unlawful entry in itself is bad, but what exactly they're doing, which could range from a scheme to dodge customs fees, unfairly circumvent immigration procedures our democratically elected congress put into law, to drug running, to spying, to hurting people.

Every country identifies its entrants. Why are people so eager to make light of such a fair procedure?

There is a serious national security rationale backing identifying an "unlawful entrant" ASAP. I hope the law gives the government maximum authority and upgrades their tools so they can keep us safe.

I wish places like ACLU would be good examples and be candid. By the way they talk in this letter - it's not like they disagree with a law - it's like they're against the concept of the most basic principle of international travel: Getting your passport stamped.
