You're right, Piers.
"If someone legally in the country acts in a criminal manner they should be treated as any other legal resident would be. If on the other hand someone in the country illegally, then acts in a criminal way, they forfeit their rights to 'sanctuary."
Its a pretty broad statement.
Generally speaking, however, I don't think this should apply to misdemeanors.
