Why is it not O.K for me to break the laws I don't like?

I know - wouldn't you just love to rob a bank everytime you needed some extra cash and no one did anything about it.

If you don't like our laws then you're in the wrong country. I suggest you consider moving elsewhere if you can't or will not respect the law of this land and policy of our nation.
It's not okay because WE ARE A NATION of laws. Without laws we will all fail. Then who will you have? If America goes, so does the rest of the world.
Count your blessings.

is it okay to commit murder simply because you don't like your neighbors? Is it ok to go 115mph through a school zone with children crossing the street? No. Laws are set up for everyone's safety. Breaking the law just because you don't like the laws puts people in dangerous situations.

I think a civil war is brewing. May i highly suggest that everyone here tonight look at illegal immigration as a game of Chess. And were not the pieces on the back either. Just keep that in mind.

Well if you're white you have no right (haha that rhymed)
Seriously though, you can't because you are from here and you should "know better" according to the government. The laws are basically only open for ignorant illegals to break and then they expect us to enjoy having them in our country. It doesn't work that way.

Go ahead and break it. That's what happened during the Prohibition, and that's why we no longer have the Prohibition. Despite all the efforts to enforce it and promote it, people wanted their alcohol. Laws are made by humans, and even people with the best of intentions err in their attempts to make the world a better place. Building a fence or mass deportations is not going to solve the immigration problem. Why? Because these people just want to feed their families, and they can't do it in Mexico. The current immigration laws and governmental programs don't realistically address the current needs of our society (including those from Mexico), just as the Prohibition didn't address the wants and needs of our society back in the day. If you really want to solve the problem of illegal immigration, find a way for those people to make a decent living in Mexico. We don't need to put them on welfare. Just let them work and make living. Obviously they would rather do it in Mexico, so the solution should start there. Veiling your racism behind rhetoric about a "national epidemic" and treating them like vermin isn't going to change anything.

It would be nice to think like the illegal aliens, wouldn't it. Lets see, I like this law, not this one, I like this one, and this one, but this one is stupid. Next go to wal mart, take what I want, then tell them, oh I'm doing this for a better life.

It's against the law for me to steal your stuff. What if I decide I don't like that law and decide to rip you off?
Think about that.

Thats exactly why I sense mass civil unrest if not a civil war on the horizon.
