In reply to Mr. B on another board - regarding this link and text that he posted:

Original B' post: #msg-732886
“The simple fact is that once someone chooses to enter the U.S. illegally and remain here illegally, breaking the law, either deliberately or through indifference, becomes easier and habitual: obtaining false IDs, avoiding normal bureaucratic requirements, violating zoning laws, etc. And when the host, whether federal, state, or local government, sends a message that the issue is now entirely political rather than legal, often the illegal immigrant senses that he is (and should be) generally exempt from the mundane laws that others must follow.”
There is truth in that statement.
FOR EVERYBODY.
Now - let's take a look at 'law enforcement'. The habituation problem is extant there - where police ROUTINELY lie to people in order to
1.) badger people into allowing un-warrantable searches and seizures.
2.) to 'get a confession'.
3.) to 'get compliance' - they will lie about what the law really states.
4.) to 'supposedly ensure public safety' - after all, what's a little lie in such a noble goal ?
And so on.
The problem is - once someone becomes a liar - THEY ARE LIARS. period.
In a courtroom, in a deposition, in everyday life - their word has become WORTHLESS.
And the 'courts of this country' have stated, point blank, - "It is perfectly legal, accpetable, moral, and even desirable for law enforcement to lie in certain situations." They have corrupted themselves.
Hyup - not just 'illegals', Mr. Wizard - but also the supra-legals. That is the 'liberal' way - doncha know ?
