The Patriot Post® · Liberals Warn Enforcing Immigration Law Is a Slippery Slope That May Lead to Enforcing Other Laws
U.S. — With politicians and pundits still involved in heated debates over the legality of the deportation of an MS-13 gang member, liberals warned the public that enforcing immigration law was a slippery slope that could lead to enforcing other laws.
Congressional Democrat leaders urged caution in the enforcement of long-existent laws that prevent foreign nationals from entering and residing in the United States illegally, citing the risk posed by setting a dangerous precedent of prosecuting other people for committing different crimes.
“This is a perilous road to go down,” said Senator Chuck Schumer. “Today, you’re talking about enforcing immigration laws to keep Americans safe. The next thing you know, you’ll be saying we should stop letting people loot and pillage stores and homes as a form of social protest, or telling everyone that falsifying votes in elections should be prosecuted. That’s a precedent I don’t think we want to set.”
Other Democrats warned of a dire future filled with peace and safety if conservatives continued to take a hardline stance on wanting laws to be enforced. “Expecting people to abide by laws and face consequences if they violate them is unreasonable and dangerous,” said Senator Cory Booker. “What’s next? Are you going to propose wild, radical ideas that physical assaults should be prevented and people who break laws should be held accountable? That’s not my America.”
At publishing time, liberals clarified that the only crimes that should be prosecuted should be the ones they make up to destroy political opponents.
