You've missed the point. When there is bad law it should be rescinded, not ignored. In the early days of immigration through legal means, the rate of new people coming into this country was such that they would assimilate into our society. That's not the case today. The illegals tend to live in established ghettos where their culture or lack of it prevails. These enclaves just get bigger and bigger, not more American. If a nation can't enforce it's own laws, then what's the purpose of having them?

Plus we now have programs like so-called bilingual education, which actively PREVENT immigrants and their children from learning English, and activist judges who refuse to permit business owners to run English-language workplaces. Everything militates against assimilation.
