"bayourod know they're supposed to feel happy about it, since it's now legal"

You, not I, are the one who feels happy about something simply because it is legal. You, not I are the one who likes "legal" immigrants but dislikes "illegal" immigrants for no other reason than the present law says they are illegal.

I am the one who has said many times that I don't base my opinion of what is right or wrong, good or bad, just or unjust, solely on what the law says.

I am the one who has pointed out many times that the law says abortion is legal but I believe that it is wrong.

You are the one, not I, who says that he is unable to judge a man on his own merits, but rather must wait until the government tells you whether his immigration papers are in order.

Again, if the only reason you dislike someone is because he is illegal, if the government makes him legal, then you have no reason to dislike him.

Again, I like border controls that are enforced in the same way that I like trespass laws that are enforced. There is an important purpose behind such controls and laws. Anyone who would argue, as you do, that the way to eliminate rampant trespassing is to change the laws so that those who trespass are given immunity and allowed to come and go as they please, is in desperate need of an injection of logic and common sense to cool their fever.
