Students who staged a demonstration in protest of a lecture on the legality of DACA called it an “intellectually cheap and morally affronting topic.” Students held posters that said, “No human being is illegal" and “Everyone is welcome here.”
Stanford University law students, upset about a “morally affronting” discussion of the arguments for and against the legality of DACA, staged a walkout of the event in protest.
On Feb. 10, Texas Solicitor General Kyle Hawkins spoke at Stanford Law School, sponsored by Stanford’s Federalist Society chapter. After Hawkins began his speech on the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, more than half of those in the room got up and left. The purpose of Hawkins’ speech was to discuss the issues of legalities of repealing DACA.
“Purely legalistic discussions of DACA ignore the human element, which must be front and center." Tweet This Hawkins stated that he would be covering and arguing both sides for and against DACA.
In October 2018, Stanford and 18 other universities filed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court in opposition of the Trump administration’s attempt to repeal DACA. The brief lamented that the end of the program would force recipients to “withdraw to the margins of our society and national economy or return to countries that they have never called home.”
The walk-out from Hawkins’ speech was arranged by the Stanford Latinx Law Students Association (SLLSA) along with various other student groups. SLLSA member Raquel Zepeda wrote in an email to law students that the lecture was an “intellectually cheap and morally affronting topic.” In protest, students held posters that read, “No human being is illegal”, and “Everyone is welcome here.”

So much for the Rule of Law when these idiots are sworn into the Bar.
“Law schools” are actually cottage cheese factories.
If you want to piss off a lawyer, ask them why, if law school is so hard, there are so many lawyers?
Rule of law went out the window a while ago.
I’m coming to the conclusion that the vast majority of law students should not even approach the word “intellectual” since they obviously do not approach it in their legal studies.
Oh well, we still have guillotine designs. We will face the remainder of them following CW-II.
“No human being is illegal”. Cool. Try sneaking into India, China or even Mexico and tell that to the authorities there. See how it goes.
There! Fixed it.
Remember in November!
MAGA, now KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.
Thanks to the “progressive” left, we are hurling back to the Dark Ages. Debating the issues is now discouraged. Soon it will be forbidden.
Each of those protesterss should take in an illegal currently living here illegally and if they don’t or won’t I call all of Dem BS!
Ok, so looking at the human aspect, why should someone get away with breaking into some human’s home without invitation and that human is bad if they throw them out?
Have each of these idiots sign a paper saying they’ll be legally and financially responsible for illegals (amount added to their student loan total) and we’ll call them anything they want us to call them.
Let’s see - there’s 40 million illegals living in the US.... medical care, housing, food stamps....
So there is no “human element” to consider when violation the law?
bttt
Law students self identify as unfitting for careers in the legal field.
And it won’t be hard to find “customers” - they’ve been more than happy to stand loud & proud.
No human being is illegal? Well then the female law students should take convicted rapists into their homes when they get out of prison to give them a start at a new life.
white male law students should take convicted bloods and crips and Latin Kings and MS-13 members into their homes.
I wonder how many students with children would take in a convicted child molester since there is no such thing as an illegal human being.
no point getting too upset. There were idiots before we were born and there will be idiots after we die.
Bingo!
That was my thought as well. Put up or shut up. If you don't have an illegal camping out in your living room (and likely stealing you blind), you have no room to make these stupid arguments.
It’s not the person that is illegal. It’s the location and means of arriving at the location.
Go breach the fence at an airport...or 30 people into their dorm room.
