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?

re: speeding tickets, they CAN, but they DON’T, and therefore EVERYONE drives 5-10 mph above the speed limit. That’s the whole point.
I did not say you can ignore laws you don’t agree with. I said that a significant grey area is created when laws on the books are not enforced. And clearly immigration laws have NOT been enforced.
