I haven’t been responding to most of these, because they just restate the original disagreement. But that one is so stupid it does call for a response. If a law is not enforced, then its not even really a law. The speed limits are a good example. The sign says 65, but you don’t get a ticket until 75. What is with those 10 mph? I don’t know, but I do know that most people are pretty indignant when they get a ticket for being 3 mph above the speed limit.

If a law goes 25 years without being enforced, if you wait until there are over 10 million immigrants here holding jobs, then to start your enforcement mechanism with the word “Roundup” is more than impractical, its impossible.

First, they CAN give you a ticket for any amount over the speed limit. They rarely do, probably because they are after bigger $$ tickets, and they probably also want to give the benefit of the doubt for people’s speedometers being off. Doesn’t matter, the law is the law and if you get a ticket and go in and use the logic you used here, with a judge to get out of it, I suspect you will still be paying a ticket. Go try it.

Second, illegal immigration law has NOT not been enforced. It has simply not been enforced enough. There are people deported all the time.

So, back to my original question to you, which you didn’t answer. Are you saying it’s ok to disregard a law because you don’t agree with it?
