Conservation of momentum is a byproduct of translational invariance. No one has to inforce it. Look up Noether's theorem before you spout nonsense about physical laws.
You are right about many laws of nature being consequences of symmetries. I have mentioned Noether's theorem on this forum a long time ago and I am familiar with it.

Noether's theorem doesn't disprove the argument because one could say instead of a particular law of nature being conserved, what conserves this or that symmetry. I figured the argument would be more understandable if made in terms of conservation of laws of nature rather than in terms of conservation of symmetries. I dumbed down the argument for the audience is all.
You are claiming that a symmetry would somehow break down if some magical being was keeping it in place. Where is your evidence for this?
