« on: May 03, 2017, 07:15:35 PM »The question is how serious do we think their crime (entering illegally) really is? Is it at the level of a misdemeanor? After all, who here hasn't sped on the highway, driven under a bit to much influence, inflated a loss or understated an earning on their taxes, or broken any one of the thousands of laws we have in the US? Or is it felonious, like murder or armed robbery?
Like I said, I honestly think that if they're here, productive and staying out of trouble we should find a way to keep them. That might involve some steep fines, or some community service, or some other punishment that lets them remain productive.
You can scream about what's fair and what isn't until you're blue in the face. What is far more important is what works in practice, not what your ideology tells you. These folks can make a serious addition to our nation, bringing in ambition and values, not to mention some really good alleles.
So why should we have any immigration laws? Let's just let anyone and everyone into the country willy-nilly. Drug dealers, terrorists, criminals, whoever. What could happen?
How many do you want to put up in your house?
