If we need special visas for vegetable pickers, let's do it.

But the rule of law is what freedom is built upon.

They are lawbreakers, by definition. We'll handle the consequences.

Keep in mind that while the principle of the rule of law is something to be generally touted and upheld, the law is neither a religion nor the highest arbiter of right and wrong. Everything which Hitler did was perfectly legal according to the then-German Constitution. The Nuremberg trials established that one's conscience should be obeyed above all else, including human laws.
