This isn't meant to bash, this is just why I believe fundamentally that the liberal or leftish stance on illegal immigration is wrong
1) We are a country of laws. This idea is simply, they broke our laws, and they need to be punished. Amnesty shouldn't be given, because that would be rewarding them for breaking our laws.
2) The cost of deportation is a price we must pay. When I externed for a superior court judge, there was a case involving the theft of a iPad. The cost to prosecute the case was very expense, it required court time, it required a jury pool, and the ultimate cost of trying to prosecute a stolen iPad far exceeded the cost of the iPad itself. But we must recognize that we are a country of laws, and in order to keep a fair and ordered society, enforcement costs must be paid for.
3) The principle of "stare decisis" because a common law country such as the U.S.A. revolves around the idea that the law above all else is fair and treats people in similar situations similarly. That is why we rely on precedent.
If we grant the immigrants who came here illegal, a free pass into our country, we are not treating the immigrants who wait in line for many years and spend lots of money to follow our laws fairly. We cannot be a country that gives greater benefits to illegal immigrations than to legal immigrants.
4) The idea that we are all immigrants that does warrant we give extra slack to illegal immigrants. Some, certainly not all, but certain liberals I have encountered uses the argument that because most if not all Americans (except the Natives) are all immigrants. Some, the even more extreme ones accuses all of us of being once illegal immigrants because we invaded North America.
This argument is absurd on a few grounds.
1) It assumes that decedents are responsible for the acts of their ancestors (not true).
2) We took North America on the concept of war, which is very different, war is almost always a legally binding way of implementing a new government/system.
3) This argument basically is saying, everyone who wants into our country should get in because we were once immigrants, which is a absurd argument.
5) There is really only one fair way to do this, we need to deport all the immigrants who are here illegally, and make them come through legal means.
