I have heard this argument before. "We should use the enemy's immoral tactics because if we don't we will lose." But if we lose our soul in the process, we are dead *and* damned. Maybe a government by, for, of the people is destined to perish from the face of the earth.

(And yes, I know, Lincoln and all he did.) I do not dispute the gravity of the situation and I agree that better action earlier would prevent much of the present trauma. Still, I have huge issues with treating minor children under the control of parents as adults under this law.

GP Pretty much where I'm at, but I'm more "your age isn't a valid defense to your illegal presence, you're going home."

Their age doesn't make their presence legal. It makes them not responsible for being there illegally, and I have a hard time with giving the government leave to take actions against people for things that those people didn't do. I don't like setting that precedence.
