Most here would agree that shooting someone entering your home illegaly and with intent to steal from you is justified. In Oklahoma that justification is codified by law.
Someone illegaly entering the United States with the intent of utilizing our health, education and other safety net systems is no different from the person illegally entering one's home with intent to steal. Both are criminals, both want that which is not theirs.
A society, a country, has the right to protect itself from those that mean to do it harm. Shooting illegal immigrants coming across the border is no different from one shooting a burglar illegally entering one's home.
It is in my opinion sheer hypocrisy to say one action is OK but the other is not.
