Let's have a hypothetical then, just for fun. If a man, woman and child knocked on our door and said they had no food, we would give them some, regardless of their citizenship. Against the law or not. 
What of people who hid Jews? Or helped them when they were being persecuted by the government? What of missionaries who sneak into other countries to preach the Gospel? And no, I'm not comparing the immigrant plight to that of Jews...I'm saying that there is something to be said for doing the right thing, regardless of what law enforcement would prefer.
We are to obey the laws of the land, but when it comes to a question of legal vs. moral, choose moral. There is something in there about...obeying God rather than man.
