New Arizona law doesn't stop illegal immigrants
The Arizona state legislature recently passed SB 1070, the bill which would allow local and state law enforcement to stop anyone suspected of being an illegal alien.
If the suspect doesn’t provide documentation, they get turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
In theory, I would say I support open borders.
However, the problem remains that there are many people that should not be admitted into the country.
So what should be done about the border problem?
My take on the issue somewhat correlates with my take on capital punishment.
Certain crimes deserve the punishment; yet, I also realize that any errors made are irreversible once the sentence is carried out.
That’s one reason why I’m a strong supporter of firearms ownership.
Not only does it mitigate the chances a violent crime is going to be carried out, it can help make sure the proper person (or people) get what they deserve as it would be used at the scene.
You’re probably wondering how the above example could possibly analogize to the border problem.
Having constant observation on the border is the best way to make sure that the real border hoppers are caught.
Although improperly detaining someone permitted to be here because they didn’t produce identification isn’t permanent as improperly convicting someone of a capital crime and carrying out the execution, it’s still something that should be avoided.
The implications of allowing such things to happen under the guise of “seurity” most likely won’t lead you down a slippery slope, but rather, off the face of a cliff in regards to civil liberties.
