You can start by considering illegal immigrants as people, and see where that takes you.  

They are criminals, thus should be locked in jail.

I mean if anyone who commits a crime is a criminal then most everyone deserves jail time. I assume you don't think everyone who gets a traffic infraction should be in jail. Unless there's something special about illegal border crossing that you think makes it a jailable offense beyond the overly simplistic and almost childish "it's a crime". 

Finally, let's say they are criminals, if they're sick should we just leave them to die or should we treat them? Because that's what "considering illegal immigrants as people" means; not letting them die.
