Sorry, I will clarify ...What is an "outright illegal" and how exactly are they different than visa overstays? What is your reasoning for extending visas to overstays?
Outright illegal refers to people presumably entering with no documentation as to who they are and their purpose ...
My reasoning for extending Visa overstays is two fold: 1) We know who the people are and generally what they are doing here 2) I am sympathetic to immigrants
I do feel there should be stricter provisions if found to be here illegally due to an overstay because you have broken the law ... But I don't think they should be treated equal to undocumented immigrants ... Undocumented immigrants should be returned ... Visa overstays should be granted a temporary extension to enable them to get in the legal immigration line or show a reason to extend their Visa ...
