many (e.g., many wives and children) may have had no practical alternative but to come here when commanded by the head of their household.

Pap. Substitute ANY other country here. "My husband 'commanded' me to come to Bermuda illegally, so the Bermuda government better damn well embrace my arrival and continued residence." Pffft.

I'd be thrown out on my ass, as would said 'commandant' husband, and rightly so.

You might want to risk that, though, if you'd ever heard the words, "I'm going, the babies are going with me, and either you come along or you will never see them again. You can stay here and sell your body on the street. Try to stop me and I will beat you unconscious."

You probably find that thumpingly dramatic, but let me assure you it's commonplace in some neighborhoods.

My point stands. Some had no choice, no recourse, no rescuers, no protectors, no courts of law, no sanctuary.

It might surprise you to know that such persons exist today as well.

But if you do not think justice ought to be tempered with mercy, at least consider tempering it with knowledge and sanity.
