This article isn’t worth reading past the headline. Since when is illegal entry “complex”?
Right. When I call the police about a burglar in my house, they damn well better not tell me it’s a “complex situation and I don’t understand the law”, and maybe he has a right to stay there.
Of course, if I were calling the police about a burglar, they wouldn’t have the option of letting him stay, because the coroner would need to get him down to the morgue to perform the autopsy, but you see what I mean.
Usually, when a liberal says “it’s more complicated than that”, it means that they don’t have a common sense, rational argument in support of their position, and are relying mostly on the emotional “feel” of the issue instead.
