What other lawbreaking are we going to excuse? Can bank robbers keep their money now? Shoplifters keep their booty? Burglars can break into your home and keep your TV sets? Carjackers can just keep all the cars they've stolen? Tax evaders can keep the money they owe? Crack dealers can keep dealing crack? Prostitutes can keep selling their bodies? Doctors no longer need to be licensed to practice and can do whatever they want? We don't need driver's licenses anymore? We can drive whatever speed we want on the wrong side of the road?
Where do you draw the line!!!? What laws can be broken and which ones will be enforced? Do you believe that illegal entry over our borders is a victimless crime? I assure you that it is not.
I guess all laws are subject to convenience and personal ambition with no regards anymore...
You made up a lot of stuff that I didn't say. Hyperbole does not contribute to debate.
It doesn't matter how much I might want to "round 'em up and send 'em home", it isn't going to happen.
It's impossible to do that and all the hysteria in the world won't change that simple fact.
If you think you can force our government to do that, please state your plan.
How about illegally copying and posting copyrighted material from newspapers to Free Republic? That's a crime too. Should all who have done that be locked up in jail? Where do you draw the line? Should we shoot speeders? What should we do about jaywalking -- life inprisonment?
I heard on Sean Hannity's radio program today, that Colin Powell met with Fox and told him the bad news: that Americans are not going to agree to any open border plan with Mexico. That ANY immigration plan would be extremely controversial (meaning, not likely to pass).
