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?
Incidentally, there's no real proof that they aren't drinking their paychecks every Friday,
I read somewhere that the second-largest item in Mexico's gross national product list is money sent back to families from the United States.
