There is rule-of-law and then there is rule-of-law-how-it-is-actually-practiced. I live in rural Nebraska where on rural roads automobile traffic is measured in tens of autos per day. Many intersections have stop signs, but these signs are routinely ignored. (At those intersections where visibility is good.) No attempt is made at all to enforce and everyone understands this.
Similarly with "illegal" immigration. Our politicians have tried, and succeeded, having it both ways. They talk tough about rule of law, but they also look the other way so that the demand for immigrant labor can be met. So immigrants have been able to build lives in this country because we never really meant to enforce the laws. To make a dramatic turn now and decimate the lives built under the regime of rule-of-law-as-actually-practiced is a horrible, horrible cruelty.
As usual with the Old Convicted Felon and his MAGAites, the cruelty is the point, just like the scare tactics to try to make some of the "targets" quit and go on their own. That would be chalked up as a non-contest win by the Millers and Homans.
