Immigration

Sorry to be heartless, but I’m against these illegal immigrant demonstrations and whatnot. I’m not saying I’m necessarily in favor of the current immigration policy or whatever. I’m just saying, what’s the point of having laws if we don’t think they should be enforced? If we say that we should just ignore laws we don’t agree with and demand that there be no consequences for doing so? That’s a recipe for chaos. What basis do we have then, for prosecuting anyone who breaks a law they happen to disagree with?

I don’t think we can just selectively enforce laws without a clear, consistent basis for doing so. If it’s a law, he have to enforce it. If you disagree with it, work to change it. Or violate it and be willing to live with the consequences.

So if you don’t like our current immigration policy, you should work to change it. But to have a system where we declare certain immigrants illegal and then demand we do nothing to enforce the law both hurts them and makes a mockery out of the law. I dunno, that’s just my take. Not that anyone cares.
