They are invaders, and putting a cap in their head would be patriotic, right?

Americans can kill home invaders legally, is this not the same, but on a grander scale?

No.
The reason it's illegal is because it's against the law. I know lots of people are fuzzy on the concept of law, but let's try.
Under common law, Homicide is the killing of another human being. Murder is the killing of another human being with malice (intent to kill/harm, or depraved indifference).
Notice the word "human being". That word doesn't make distinctions based on someone's immigration status.
So, why is it legal to kill people during war. Well, technically it's not. It's still homicide. However, there are defenses (called justifications) that say sometimes homicide is not punishable. For example, if you kill someone to stop them from killing you, or your child or spouse -- that's self defense or defense of others. It's a justification for homicide. The same applies when a solider kills an enemy soldier during a recognized military conflict.
Now, if that illegal immigrant was a member of an armed force that was attacking, during a declared conflict, a solider would have justification in shooting them. Just as a civilian would if the illegal immigrant was about to killed them or their family. But in either case, it's not the immigration status that makes any difference. The justification is based on what the (now-dead) person was doing that provoked the lethal response.
Failing to fill out paperwork does not justify a lethal response.

Because a life is a life.
A person that is invading your home presents eminent danger. That is why it is legal to "kill" them. A person entering your country illegally is annoying, and it costs us money, but they all do not pose a danger to us. So comparing the two is not a fair comparison.

Read the 10 Commandments! Thou Shalt not kill! Period! What slippery slope are you headed down, if all you can come up with is killing? It's too easy to hate & be angry... try listening to others points of view, & step in their shoes once in a while. It's a big world out there, with trillions of different people & different ideas...are you going to kill them all if you don't like them? If that's the case...then someone similar, somewhere out there could say the same about you. I take it you don't want someone murdering you for who you are, what you beleive, or think or do. Me thinks you doth protest too much?

why is it illegal for me to kill you? do i know on sight how you became an american? will you check to see their papers first or just go a hunting in the barrios?
you benefit from the rule of law just as much as i do, that does not entitle you to carry it out if you can't do it reasonably. patriotism does not exist without civilization.

By CONSTITUTIONAL LAW, it IS legal to declare WAR against illegal aliens. Civilians DO have CONSTITUTIONAL right by CONSTITUTIONAL LAW to take arms as a civilian army auxiliary to defend nation in event of another nation invading the united states. BY the MASS amount of ILLEGAL ALIENS who intentionally enter this nation to INTENTIONALLY DISRESPECT EVERYTHING about OUR nation...it DOES constitute an INVASION of OUR nation. OUR group WILL set up DEATH CAMPS for them BEFORE we speak Spanish to order a hamburger in an ENGLISH SPEAKING nation!!!!!

It is still murder, and unauthorized. What is funny is that they can kill us US citizens south of the border and no one really knows anything about it but if we do the same it is all over the news.
