The worst part is they talk about these illegals had guns from a failed operation for the US to sell guns to cartels and then trace the guns back to catch them. 1500 weapons ended up lost and apparently ended up in the hands of these pieces of shit. That shit is just unacceptable.

Great, the system works.

How does that have any bearing on how those two should be treated by the justice system?
You mean how does where they got the weapons they used to commit murder have any bearing?
I guess maybe it doesn't, but then where are we going to talk about bullshit like this? Is anyone in the government going to be held responsible for allowing 1500 guns to go missing and then some of said guns being used to murder American citizens? Or is this going to just be yet another "oopsie!" with nobody suffering any consequences?
Then again whenever a shooting happens you have folks coming out whining about "oh how'd he'd get the gun, bla bla bla gun control". Where are those cries over this instance?

I think the answer to that is "never", and everyone knows that that is the answer, so I'm not sure if that's actually "the big question" as you say.

I will mention there is no such thing as 'an illegal.'
Someone can be here undocumented, in which case they can be removed, but crossing the border without documentation or lacking documentation is not, itself, a crime- there is no trials for such a thing, you'll note, and if it was a crime on the books there would be.
And someone, also, can only be convicted for committing a crime, it cannot simply be for being, that'd make it a status offense, which is blatantly unconstitutional.
Nor, of course, does it have any bearing on whether they did or didn't do something.

Oh it should definitely be addressed when authority abuses its power and does bullshit things. I've long held that stance (criminalization of marijuana, NSA, civil asset forfeiture) and get pissed off when people think authority is somehow above reproach. The implication that where they got the guns makes the crime any less their fault is what I disagree with, though it occurs to me that you may have been talking about them being called out on it while I may have incorrectly inferred that you were saying it was hilarious because it somehow impacted how the justice system should treat the killers.
Oh the crime isn't any less their fault..they were still the ones who chose to pull the triggers. Though one would think questioning them about exactly how they got these guns might allow them to potentially track down some of the lost weapons. On the other hand they'd probably refuse to give information unless they were given lighter sentences.

Seems like you're just getting into semantics now.
