IDEA THAT ENFORCING THE LAW ISN'T FEASIBLE IS INCORRECT
If we should not enforce our immigration laws because it is not
"feasible" to deport 12 million illegal immigrants, then it follows
that we should not enforce our drug laws either - since it is not
"feasible" to arrest and imprison millions of offenders.
By the same twisted logic, we should quit enforcing traffic laws as
well, since it is not feasible to apprehend all of those speeders I
see every day driving around Atlanta.
The fact is that we don't have to arrest all of the speeders to
affect how others drive. Most of us slow down because we don't want
to chance being among the minority who get caught and have to pay the penalty.
