  • Modern law demands permission to cross a border.

    God you sound like a bad '80s sci-fi where a post-apocalyptic group of children worship “the laaaaaw” and talk about things being “foretold”…

    The “law” does no such thing. It doesn’t have wants or needs. It does not exist without humans since laws are written by humans and based on human morality. It does not exist to serve itself, it exists to serve society.

    Deporting people who have been here for a friggin’ decade, who are paying taxes, who are participating in society, and who have done no wrong, is wrong. I’ve never seen anybody defend that as being “the right thing to do” - typically they just talk about “the law” at that point.

    It does not matter what the law says. If the law says they should be deported then the law is wrong and ought to be changed.
