I don't know what "unforward" means. The closest word would seem to be untoward. Yes, regardless of all those qualifications, the government is well-empowered to to ignore your demands and to choose, according to its own criteria (sensible or not) to enforce or not enforce any law. To the extent that you think you are empowered to order the government to obey your wishes as to the exercise of its discretion, your attitude is untoward. That is, you are impertinent in your powerlessness. Prosecutorial discretion is law. That is the way the law works. Ask any lawyer with a criminal practice and he or she will tell you about the existence and importance of prosecutorial discretion.

The insults have the usual effect: none.

Considering you set the tone of this thread with your slurs of racism and clasim, not to mention your claiming that the border groups were acting illegally without supporting information (and those posts were yanked by the moderators), you have no grounds to complain about any insuing insults.
