Are you seriously trying to say that you think laws do nothing whatsoever to deter actions, smply because they're not 100% effective?
Well let's see, we have 12 million illegal aliens in the country, so yeah. But your right we can start locking up, mothers, fathers, doctors, receptionist. Let's see currently,
There are now more Americans in jail -- 6 million -- than there were in Stalin's Gulag, reports Fareed Zakaria, in a column called "Incarceration Nation."
And it's not just a relative population thing.
The U.S. has 760 prisoners per 100,000 citizens.
How does that compare to other countries?
It's 7X-10X as high:
Japan has 63 per 100,000,
Germany has 90 per 100,000
France has 96 per 100,000
South Korea has 97 per 100,000
*Britain has 153 per 100,000
I think your narrow minded idea is a winner, let's run it up the flag pole.
