I did vouch for it here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43121049, to no effect. That is why I submitted this. I would gladly discard any points from upvotes, those are meaningless.
After I submitted this, my comments less than a day old were downvoted multiple times. I think we all know what is going on here.
It's so easy to champion the law when it does what you want. But when it goes against your wishes, you call enforcing the law "extreme" and "inhumane and dubiously legal" [1] - textbook normalization of deviance - the border has been left open for so long, limiting immigration to the already substantial legal routes is "extreme".
Champion direct democracy [2], but don't complain when an immigration-friendly judge overthrows the voter's will, on the shaky logic that limiting state services to citizens and legal immigrants only is unconstitutional [3]. The author would probably call the judge's actions, preventing citizens from deciding whom their taxes should benefit, "giving back to the country". Such generous "gifts".
