Of course its a valid comparison. Illegal immigrants don't want to have to obey the law like everyone else. They want *what they want*, *when they want it* and don't want to have to *obey the law* like everyone else.
In many ways illegal immigrants are poor versions of Paris Hilton: they're *snooty people* who think *the law shouldn't have to apply to them* just because they're *poor* and want to live somewhere else.
Your line of reasoning is totally absurd. Sorry to belabor the point from my earlier reply but if you think comparing an illegal immigrant coming to America to get a job and support his family with Paris Hilton driving drunk then you sir are putting too much Crazy Sauce on your hot dogs.
So comparing one person who commits a crime because they want something and won't follow the law, to another person who commits a crime because they want something and won't follow the law is "absurd"?
"Absurd" in the debate sense, because it's an extreme case?
