This thread was inspired by the “Are We Being Invaded” thread. The US has federal immigration laws and that controversy is over illegal immigrants not immigrants. However, there are people here that have lived and worked here for years and paid taxes. The estimates put the number in the millions. SO many feel that amnesty should be given. That would pretty much outdate the law the US currently have and be a slap in the face of people who came here legally. When water stations are being placed in the desert so people won’t die when they cross illegally, isn’t it time to just change the immigration laws?
If a law becomes something that is openly ignored isn’t it time to change the law? What is promoted when one law is ignored and another is enforced? Why have any? In light of the fact that there is such a huge argument and has divided so many people, is it time to drop the current immigration laws? Are they outdated much like prohibition?
Is there any current federal law that you see as being ignored, or outdated? Do you see any law that should be repealed because it is outdated or goes against what you feel the nature of America is? (Discussion not just limited to changing immigration laws, but any laws)
