I don't blame them at all! I also don't blame water for coming in through a crack in the canoe - it's in the nature of physics. I just seek to plug the hole before the canoe goes under.https://twitter.com/BenjaminRichman/status/1008787880074989568 …

Comparing human beings to water doesn't make you seem more reasonable. Immigrants are not responsible for the problem you're describing, but you want them to be punished for it.

Mr. Richman, you miss the point. His analogy made it clear that it was not the illegal immigrants' fault. I see it as not wanting to see the rest of us, i.e. US citizens, further punished financially, and often physically, by illegal immigration.

I didn't miss the point. I'm suggesting that he shouldn't advocate for the punishment of immigrants if they're not at fault.

Does your neighbor need your permission before they rent out their spare room to someone? You don't get to interfere in the voluntary associations of others just because of proximity.

when you say "you don't get to", you are obviously not describing reality as it is - laws in many if not most jurisdictions do put constraints on that activity. You are describing a counter-factual - one that you think is better / more just. The onus is on you to defend it. Go

Exactly this. "I HAVE CREATED A MENTAL UTOPIA IN MY HEAD. EVERYONE AROUND ME OBEYS ITS RULES." Except nobody does, and the magical uni-dino-robot-plane is really a box turtle painted pink w/some crap hot glued to the shell... God forbid you point THAT shit out tho...pic.twitter.com/96Nj4OK3Xl
