When murderer's choose to kill, they also believe that what they are doing is perfectly fine too. They believe that the victim deserves to die. This is why we have our laws about when a person is allowed and not allowed to kill. The law is the only thing that separates murderers from us free citizens when we kill. If everyone was permitted to kill others just because they felt that someone else deserved to die and the "world is made better by their passing" then our country would tear itself apart. That is why it is against the law. The only reason why someone who believes it is ok to abuse the system like that and acts on it is not considered a criminal is because no one could prove it. Just because we can't prove something in court doesn't mean the law was not broken.
Those who believe that these people deserve to die despite what our laws state, consider it a "happy coincidence" that it happens, and like that people can get away with it are much more likely to abuse the system. They are more likely to kill when they do not need to kill in order to remain safe just because that's what they want to do. They are more likely to break the law. They are more likely to commit an action which makes them a murderer. They already think like murderers do.
Our government granting us the freedom to kill someone out of self defense without being punished for doing so is a luxury no matter how much you may think we are entitled to it. If we abuse that freedom too much, it will be taken away eventually. Despite our difference in moral beliefs on the matter, I don't think either one of us wants that freedom to be taken away or tightened up to the point where it is practically worthless do we?
Besides, weren't you stating earlier that the Mexicans "believe they can get away with it because we let them" and you think that needs to stop? You may want to consider how conflicting your logic is here when it comes to that issue and your strong feelings about self defense and being allowed to kill people to the point of abusing the system because they deserve to die.
