Heh, Illegals are scurrying back into the darkness where they belong instead of giving us the finger on CNN... deport every frigging one of 'em.
Finally, It’s No Fun
Kakistocracy, 12 Feb 2016
The life of an illegal squatter really shouldn’t be calypso dancing and daiquiris. It shouldn’t be light and carefree at all. Intruding into someone else’s home against their laws while availing yourself of their expensive social amenities and berating them all the while should incur significant jeopardy. It should involve persistent trepidation. Otherwise those laws, and the will of the nation who wrote them, are of no consequence whatsoever.
Choosing whether to comply with the legal framework or ignore it has always presented a cost/benefit profile. Those who choose noncompliance enjoy the benefit of a more lavish lifestyle than they could otherwise obtain in exchange for the risks of legal sanction and a certain measure of living in the shadows. In contrast, people who abide by the law suffer the opportunity costs of legality in order to expressly avoid shadow living. Without such lifestyle penalties, the incentive for lawful behavior declines precipitously.
It’s morbidly fascinating that the left and its media organs draw an inverse moral distinction between foreigners who break our laws and those who do not. By appearances, it’s likely that practically every Mexican on Earth would rather not live in Mexico. But only a minority of dissatisfied Mexicans actually attempt illegal entry into America. Most choose to obey our laws and live out of the shadows in their own country. They incur a distinct opportunity cost in doing so. For those moved by moral positions, one would think it is these people who have the better one. Yet only the lawbreaking cohort is celebrated.
It is true that both furniture thieves and illegal immigrants are just trying to make a better life for themselves. But only with one of these is it ever suggested that no shadow living should accompany the action. In fact, someone tuned only to the media’s oppression-mining operation could easily come away with the conviction that unauthorized aliens shouldn’t be molested at all. That is to say: illegality shorn completely of its costs. I hope my neighbor hasn’t grown too fond of his leather sectional.
Though in the year 1 AD (after Trump), our paradigm of consequence-free encroachment is beginning to fray around the edges. CNN, which is straining to out-sprint Salon into foaming irrelevancy, ran a piece describing the injustice of costs being attached to benefits. Their reporting was emotionally ladled with verbiage such as:
