Unabashedly Unhyphenated: BadEagle: Getting appropriately harsh with Illegals

Some things that seem harsh make the most sense, have the best outcomes and elevate the interests of the many as being more important than the interest of the few...or the dumb. If we are to be truly "ethical," then we must allow for bad consequences to be visited upon people who do stupid things, or break the laws of a nation, or ignore the laws of nature. To do otherwise sends the wrong message to others who might be inspired to take dumb chances, and serves as the basis of a nanny-state socialist form of democracy.

If no illegal assistance were given them, others would not be encouraged to take the same risks. That would be compassionate. If they were left to die where they fell, they would only be paying the price they agreed on--by circumstancial association. That would be justice.
