No Law Can Be Enforced 100%

Washington, DC (TLS). Statistically it is impossible to enforce every law 100% of the time. This is no argument against those laws, however.

How would you like it, for example, for all child abuse laws to be repealed simply because many child molesters get away with their crimes?

Such a point of view is entirely laughable. Yet this is precisely the argument being used in favor of the new immigration bill (which is just an updated version of the old immigration bills that grant amnesty).

The common argument is that we cannot deport 12 million illegal aliens. True. We cannot. It does NOT follow, however, that therefore we must change the law to accommodate law-breakers. If this argument is valid, then it is entirely reasonable to repeal child abuse laws because we cannot enforce them 100%.

We may not be able to deport all of them, but we can sure deport a LOT of them!
