I agree. The opposition argument makes no sense; If being illegal is legal, then you have no law anyway.
If you look at what is happening at airports you can see why, whenever we give the government power to hassle bad guys they will also hassle us. If immigrants must carry papers to prove they are legal then we all will have to carry identification to prove we are not immigrants or risk being mistaken for an immigrants without papers.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
