100s of ICE ARRESTS yesterday near my job, Jackson Heights, Queens, NYC

It's amazing how people feel they have the right to illegally live in a country, like it's something noble they're doing and the horrible ICE are just being mean.

That's why I have to laugh when the Mexican president criticizes our government. Millions of Americans are not trying to sneak into your country to work. Please fix your country before you start chucking shit at ours.

I don't know when it became cool and when it became Chic to break the law. Suddenly there is no such thing as a law. And if you say there is a Lloyd means you are a fascist. I don't know when this started but millions and millions of people have been brainwashed into this idea that there's no such thing as an illegal human being. Yes there is such a thing as an illegal human being. Is a person who has broken a law. If I sneak into Mexico now and I overstayed my 60 days or whatever they give me I will be an illegal immigrant. If I sneak into Egypt to right now or China I will be an illegal immigrant. What part of illegal are people acting like they no longer understand? And isn't this just a symptom of the out-of-control sense of self-entitlement that people have gotten over the past 20 years?

Sometimes it can be argued it is okay to break a law if it is unjust, like smoking marijuana, etc.

But how could anyone argue that immigration laws are unjust? If you don't have borders, you don't have any countries, and our whole system falls apart.

Exactly it's like if everyone decided that the speed limit on highways is no longer enforceable and that it is unjust and that is discrimination to try to stop people from driving at over 65 miles per hour so let's just all do it and if anybody tries to arrest us for speeding on the highway we will say that they are a racist and a fascist and that they have no right and that there's no such thing as an illegal driver

I think we pretty much summed it up perfectly, I think the ideas and statements in this thread should be mandatory reading for all liberals.

It is too logical for them they will distract to unrelated crap.
