Breakin’ the law
Here's a pretty old post from the blog archives of Geekery Today; it was written about 17 years ago, in 2007, on the World Wide Web.
Jennifer McKitrick has an excellent guest post at Austro-Athenian Empire:
They say
We're not against immigration, we're against illegal immigration.OK, so the problem with immigrants is that they broke some laws. But are they good laws? If yes, they're for laws designed to keep immigrants out, so they are against immigration. If no, then they should be for changing the laws. But they say changing the laws is either unacceptableamnestyfor illegals that are already here and/or it would encourage more immigration. But the immigration that would happen then would be legal, so if they're only against illegal immigration, they should have no problem.So, I think I think that they are less than sincere when they say they are only against illegal immigration. Perhaps the right thing to say is that they only support the amount of immigration currently allowed by law. Which is pretty much being against immigration for the most part.
