I agree ..as in a legal immigrant who enters through the port of entry the proper way and vetted and then allowed to stay in the U.S as opposed to an illegal immigrant entering by sneaking in or climbing over or under the wall not being vetted and allowed to stay in as well ..the one following the laws should be allowed to stay and the other should be thrown out ..details do indeed matter..Not to mention those who are seeking asylum because they are being persecuted or escaping violence in "their country"..once they leave "their country" they are no longer under those threats in "their country" and there goes their reason for seeking asylum..once again details do matter..
what you are missing is that NEITHER Hilary nor Trump were found to have colluded even WITH the details.
so, in immigration, as with the definitions in criminal law in general, the details matter as to the 'crime' charged AND the penalty.
If some woman and her child entered my home without knocking, I may treat them differently if some crazy man with a gun was outside or some abusive spouse, than if they only came in trying to take my possessions. In the former case, though there was the CRIME of trespassing and illegal entry, I would be trying to HELP them. In the latter, due to the CRIME, would be prosecuting them.
