The problem I have with illegal=illegal is that there are lots of example when the law and 'what's right' have been on opposite sides. I think that is a lazy argument, that doesn't bring much to the table to help solve the problem.
I also think that "love IS the answer", trite as that statement is. And that's my basic problem with landmines and the violent rhetoric. Doesn't really bring much to the table, either.
I think JustJess said it pretty well with points 1 & 2 at the end of that post 41. If the system is clearly broken, it's going to take a different order of thinking to solve it. That rarely happens without making some group unhappy. Shutting the border tight doesn't solve the problem on our side of it. So that just doesn't seem practical to me...
