America

You're aware that other nations also report immigration status when somebody receives medical care, right? America is hardly unique in that regard.

imagine actually avoiding care because youre afraid your family or household is gonna be split up

I get that it's sad when this happens, but illegal immigration is illegal.

Imagine if someone commits tax fraud, starts a family, and gets busted for the tax fraud years later. Would you excuse them from a jail sentence because they have a family?

There are existing legal routes to immigrate to the US. Ignoring those rules is deeply selfish and hurts those that immigrated legally.

This. When you're breaking the law (or have broken it), you're going to have different concerns than average people.

A jail sentence is one thing, being permanently separated from your kids or family is another.

...going to jail is being separated from your family. Every person who goes to jail might lose out on seeing his family.

And the truth is that crossing a border without going through proper channels is traditional not seen as as a major offense and more of a civil matter.

So basically you're arguing that laws should be viewed the say you see them?

You dont see folks insisting that anyone with a speeding ticket or parking violation is a criminal and that their basic human rights should be disregarded.

That's about as false of an equivocation as you can get.
