I'd imagine most people have their personal stance on how illegal something is when they or something else is breaking the law and whether or not it should be reported.

Take for example speeding. Technically it is illegal but most people do it without repercussion. Some I'd imagine let their family members drink at a family party even if they're minors. Hell, how many folks have even driven while buzz. Of course it can get as severe as stealing, domestic abuse, or murder at which point I'd imagine even some family members might be hard pressed on reporting it.

I wouldn't consider people who report undocumented people as bad nor would I consider it good either. Are they, the one doing the reporting, following the law in the scenario, yes. Are they potentially ruining the lives of a family who may be guilty of nothing more than entering the country illegally, yes. As some have suggested, something being lawful is not the same as being morally good. Slavery at one point in this country was lawful. Discrimination at one point was lawful. Ironically I was thinking of the idea to judge yourself before you judge others. Ironically I was thinking of the idea/statement to judge yourself before you judge others.
