lol breaking asylum laws is bad but breaking immigration laws is fine.
I’d suggest though that our government breaking laws is in fact worse than random individuals breaking laws.
That’s true for pretty obvious reasons, I’ll add.
Illegal immigration can best be thought of as a slow-moving constitutional crisis. An increasingly large portion of the electorate wants decisive solutions to illegal immigration and will vote for the person who gives them that, regardless of the constitutionality.
“Wealth inequality is… therefore property rights don’t matter”
“Climate change is… therefore freedom of movement doesn’t matter”
“Foreign influence is… therefore freedom of speech doesn’t matter”
“School shootings are… therefore the second amendment doesn’t matter”
All the same seditious, un-American attitude.
We have a system for resolving these disputes! It’s all laid out in the Constitution.
