I think it will bring more people to take responsibility for their actions when they know there will be a consequence. Why not? Think about it. Seems people break the law anytime they want and then get upset when they are punished. We cant' just always do whatever we want to do. It doesn't work that way. There are laws and there is authority. We must abide by laws otherwise there is chaos. Take the terrible events of the basketball game last night. Someone could have been killed...just because players and fans did what they wanted to do instead of practicing self control. You just can't do those kinds of things...you just can't and that is the kind of thing that protects you and me. There has to be some kind of order in our lives beginning when we are little children so we grow to know right from wrong.
You're another one that doesn't get it.
Millions enter our country illegally, at will, routinely, and the government stands winking and nodding yet the governement, ie: Judges, law enforcement, congress etc demands and forces us to pay billions for this lawlessness, or else we are sent to jail too.
Do you not see a broken picture here?
Do you not see the ultimate, glaring hypocrisy here?
