We put GPS trackers on convicted criminals. We limit the freedoms of people convicted of crimes; can't buy guns, can't get certain kind of jobs, can't vote in some places. We put out warrants for the arrest of people accused of crimes in cases.
What's wrong? Using modern tools to catch criminals?
> By the same token, very few immigrants are anything but innocent people looking to live and contribute to the American Dream, so there's no reason to preemptively exclude or bother them.
Ok. But we live in a country of laws and rules. If I knock over a bank and don't harm anyone- that's fine right? I'm just trying to provide for my family. The bank has insurance. If I don't report my taxes, it doesn't harm anyone. The government has enough money. Breaking the law doesn't harm anyone- right?
> Bad cops? It's just "a few bad apples" to handle case by case after the fact (and half-hardheartedly in most cases). Immigrant criminals? Well, better put up a wall and do "extreme vetting" before we let anyone through.
We're putting body cameras on cops to stop abuses. We put cameras in cop cars so we can make sure what they say happened happened.
If an Immigrant comes here without proper authorization, without a visa, or stays on an expired visa; they are breaking the law. They have no inherent right to immigrate here. Coming into any country is a courtesy extended by the government of that country. If Japan doesn't want to issue a visa for whatever reason, that is their right. You have no right to visit or move to Japan. If they wish to do "extreme vetting", that is their right.
Cops has no inherent right to become a cop. They have to be hired, trained, and maintain a standard. Sure, there are bad ones who are not punished for their actions- and yes that is a double standard that needs to be fixed.

The stupid idea of a wall is to stop people from breaking the law. As I said before, nobody has the right to immigrate to this country as they want. If they ignore our laws and do so anyway, they should be removed- as they broke the law.
