Why make it illegal then, if we're not going to enforce it at all? Should we just let anyone walk right in at their whim? I understand having compassion, but come on. Be reasonable, folks.
You act as though there isn't a meaningful middle between "letting everyone walk in at their whim" and "deport all illegals".
There is, in fact, and that's what we do today.
Frankly, I'd consider it a whole lot less bigoted if it wasn't directly entirely at Mexico. When last I checked our other borders were even more porous and it's not as if we don't have a shitload of undocumented aliens from elsewhere.
(And yes, I understand you personally are not making that distinction.)
My bold.
Uh, not at all lol. I've expressed my views about there being a middle by saying families with children should be allowed to stay here. My response was to the extreme opinion that no one should be deported at all.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
