What? That doesn't make sense in context. If you catch someone in the act or just build a case on evidence you can prosecute just the same.Ameer wrote:I disagree. If an illegal alien makes it across the border, they shouldn't be allowed to stay just because the law didn't catch him in the act of crossing the border. Think about this. If a drunk driver kills a 9 year old girl and flees the scene, he shouldn't be immune to prosecution and civil liability just because the law didn't catch him in the act of killing her.Bullwhip wrote:"Wet foot" is the right policy, not just for Cubans but Mexicans and central/south americans too. If you're on American soil you get American protections. period.
The Wet-Foot Dry-Foot Policy is bad policy, and so is the nightmare DREAM ACT.
Remember all those times we get reminded the Constitution doesn't grant any rights? We have those rights, the Constitution just says the government won't infringe those specific right. I don't care where your'e born, ever human being has the right to be armed for self defense. Chicago has the same rights as Dallas. Same for China or London. Some goverments infringe that right, like our own does sometimes. You still have the right tho. Just like you have the right to shout down the Chinese goverment in front of a bunch of tanks, but good luck wiht that.You have the right but exercising it is on you.
