Exactly. The problem is that the laws do not provide punishment commensurate to the crimes that are being committed.
What is being discussed by our government is turning these into felony offenses so that the violators would not be treated so kindly. The laws and the consequences of breaking these laws are not effective against these people. When most visitors come to the USA they behave as most visitors do when travelling to any foreign country. They are grateful for being received and abide by the laws of the country they enter.
These people
do not.
Therefore they need to be dealt with more severely.
