Many of my Conservative LDS friends say that the biggest issue they have with illegal immigrants is that they are breaking the law. Hence the term "illegal."
They hate it when I mention that the Brigham Young party came to Utah illegally in 1847, when this valley was a part of Mexico.
Jeremy posted on the Amicus that until 1976, it was illegal not to either drive a Mormon out of the state or kill him.
It is illegal to drive faster than the posted speed limit on Utah's roads, but I see it happen daily.
It is illegal to not stop for a pedestrian entering a crosswalk, but that doesn't stop anyone.

Probably because that's entirely untrue. The Mexican constitution in effect at the time encouraged immigration to Mexico.
