If our country does not abide by the laws we set then we should have no expectation that others will.
That's exactly what has happened. Illegal immigrants think they've been given free reign in this country. Until we enforce the laws on deporting illegal immigrants, they're not going to take us seriously on what they absolutely need to do in order to come here.

So you admit that our own nation doesn't abide by the laws so we shouldn't expect immigrants to.
What I'll admit to is that when illegal immigrants break our laws, they shouldn't expect our laws to protect them.

They shouldn't expect our laws to protect them, but we should be requiring our laws to protect them.
This shouldn't be a grey area up for interpretation by whoever you happen to stand in front of, but a clear message to those who are breaking our laws or planning on breaking our laws.
I notice you skirt my question as to why these people dont apply for asylum at the embassy???
So? Immigrants have been trying to grasp the American Dream for over 200 years now.
There isn't a grey area. The Constitution is clear on the matter that everyone is entitled to Due Process.

The keyword in your first sentence is legal immigrant, not illegal immigrant.
The grey area lies in the fact that the President and his administration gets to choose who is deported and who is not, no matter how much you dislike it.
I certainly disliked it when Obama not only encouraged illegal immigration, but then broke our laws by giving them work permits through DACA and DAPA. At least DAPA got shot down based on the fact that it was recognized by a federal court to be unconstitutional and illegal.
