Who are the conservatives in Red China or Castro's Cuba or who were they in Hitler's Germany? The ones who obeyed the laws of communists and Nazis. Conservatism is NOT first rooted in the law. In our country, the law is the welfare state, inter alia and that is NOT conservative.

As to CINO, you define conservative if you can and I will respond.

Do you get some kind of perverse pleasure plumbing the depths of absurdity? In this country, the law stems from the consent of the governed, and current immigration law was crafted by elected representatives - and therefore should be enforced by the executive branch and law enforcement. In Cuba or Nazi Germany, the law came from the decree of a dictator - i.e., rule of man, not rule of law. But go ahead. Be like Bill Clinton, and decide that the law is something to be toyed with.
