All of which are obvious violations of human rights. Illegal immigrants do NOT have the right to come here illegally, so sending them back home is not a violation of human rights. You will not fool us with your comparisons, no matter how you explain them.

Frankly, I think it's stupid to base an assumption of victory in a debate by naming an outdated convention.

1) You don't have the facts right about Godwin's law, but that's not germane to the thread.
2) I assume victory because I have the facts on my side. He snuck into the country. He was here illegally. He got caught. He got deported. He could have been a pillar of his community if he had come here legally.
Let me ask you this. If he had not been so active and involved with his community, would you still say he should be allowed to stay? Why do you think we have immigration laws? Do you not think it's a good idea to have immigration laws so that there is some measure of control over who gets into the country?
