The tone of this article clearly celebrates these scofflaws as noble and moral. These people broke our laws to take advantage of opportunities that are reserved for citizens and legal immigrants. I can sympathize with their plight but their predicament is of their own making. If these people are not deported then our immigration system is a joke. Laws that are not enforced are simply ignored and that is why we have 11+ million illegals in our country demanding amnesty. 
The American people are fed up with illegal immigration and Donald Trump is President as a reaction to this corrupt situation.
