I draw a fundamental line between those who come here to work and build a better life, and those who come here to commit crimes. If someone comes here illegally, gets a job, and tries to build a better home and life for themselves and their family, I (and most liberals) are willing to work on ways to get them legalized so they can contribute to the country without fear of deportation.

If someone comes here illegally and starts committing crimes that get them jailed, I have little sympathy. We don't need to be importing other nations criminals. We certainly don't need to be releasing them back into our country when they're freed.
