The metaphor already covers this.

Yes, but we cannot have an express lane because people don't want to stand in line. They want to cut and some cashiers think we should check out those that cut in line and leave those standing orderly in line to never move ahead in the line. Other cashiers are like: "Hey you cut. Go to the back of the line and wait your turn". Who is the liberal and who is the conservative in the example. ![]() ![]()

It certainly is frustrating when all customers are not treated equally, but various express lanes exist for various reasons. Maybe they're a family member, they're being recruited by an employer, or, in this case, have lived here since they were children. We do this because we seem to have an investment in these people, just as some businesses give preference to the customers they either have a longer relationships with, more investment in, or expect repeat business from (I know these don't all translate to this metaphor). In the case of DACA, we have an investment in young adults that are essentially Americans as they have grown up in our culture, been educated in our schools, and are currently contributing to our economy. It's also partially emotional. ![]() ![]()

You either broke the law or didn’t. Once they turned 18 and didn’t sort themselves out straight away they became as every other law breaking degenerate illegal. Everyone has a choice. You either are part of civilized society and follow the laws or you are an outlaw and suffer the consequences eventually.

Emotion does exist in our justice system. It's why we see stories where cops buy moms car seats after they're called to the store because she shoplifted some baby food. Or why people are given warnings. Or why judges often give rehabilitative sentences instead of punitive ones. ![]() ![]()

It would be great to deport all law breakers, but we aren’t able to do that so we deal with who we have to deal with and deport other people’s problems.

Once they made the adult decision to not get right with the law they became as bad as their law breaking parents. Which is no surprise considering the apple probably doesn’t fall far from the tree. We made a bad investment, and when you do that you cut ties and move on. Time to cut these people off and move forward with law abiding people. Your emotional outburst is a really compelling argument: "They're bad because they want to stay here and contribute instead of being deported". Who is Doug? ![]() ![]()

As to the rest you and others know full well your intent, yet it is condoned and applauded. ![]() ![]()
