The lack of respect for law is right there in ‘amnesty.’ That might mean we can pick and choose which if any laws we want to ignore, as we already do and we could make quite a list no problem. That is the danger. The security thing is a distraction: if laws mean nothing what is left?
The words of St. Thomas More have been coming to my mind more and more lately:
"And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!"
>>The security thing is a distraction: if laws mean nothing what is left?<<
“The security thing” as seen by pro-amnesty people is that if most of them are legalized, the feds will know where they are. I don’t agree that this will be an overall plus to security.
As I see it, “the security thing” is that amnesty
1) Will legalize some terrorists who are currently illegal, and
2) encourages further massive illegal immigration, which is an ideal way to conceal terrorists entering the US.
I agree that “If laws mean nothing, nothing is left.”
