While the breaking, scoffing, and flouting of laws is generally not a good thing, the law is not some kind of religion or the highest arbiter of right and wrong. Indeed, sometimes it becomes a moral necessity to break, scoff, and flout the laws. Jewish people were "illegals" in Germany 60 years ago, and everything that Hitler ever did was all perfectly legal according to the then German constitution.

The law cannot force one to be compassionate. The law cannot compel you to stop and help another person. The law is not a religion. We need much more than mere human laws in order to have a healthy, functioning society. But even so the law does have an important role to play.

Looks to me like Bush is going to create new *law* to bankrupt SSec once and for all--and he'll expect the lawabiding to abide by that law.

Our immigration laws are the most generous on earth. Mexico's, BTW, are some of the most restrictive, almost as bad as NZ's. They're not exactly even as generous as some Euros were to Jews.

My country deserves an orderly and stable influx of immigration, designed to serve more than the interests of one poorly-managed third-world nation.

Uh.. borders, language, and culture?
