They do this all the time. Maybe Biden should call their bluff, execute his powers as Commander in Chief, and order the National Guard in Texas to turn on State Police.

Yeah it just requires money, time and connections. People fleeing countries have all of those things right?
“If I’m poor the rules shouldn’t apply.”
When the rules are “don’t be poor” then yeah, it might be a little unfair.
If you think the rules are unfair, work to change them. Every person walking across the border is giving a middle finger to the qualified LEGAL immigrants waiting YEARS to be naturalized, many of them with financial challenges of their own.
Right, better that they die in their own country rather than seek asylum elsewhere and “give the middle finger” to those with more money, connections and time than they have.
Dying is bad but being disrespectful of unfair rules? Well nothing is worse than that.
Maybe it’s unfair their own country isn’t helping them. Again, if you feel our rules are unfair there are mechanisms to change them. Ignoring them is not the proper approach.
I know, I already agreed with you. Being proper is much more important than people’s lives. Much smarter to work on changing the laws of a country you don’t reside in, or you not dying might have the horrible tragedy of breaking a rule.
As a diabetic, I wasn’t able to obtain affordable insulin (which threatens my life), so I hijacked a truck and stole a case. This is clearly morally correct.
This response is so American it drives a pickup truck.
It certainly isn’t morally wrong, no
It’s always ethical to steal from big pharma, fuck them, but especially so if you were fucking dying thanks to the inflated price of insulin
“i had to go through miserable bullshit so you have to too” is not doing what you think its doing
Maybe we should allow border free flow.
Sure, and you should just let random people off the street walk into your bedroom.

To make laws that man can not and will not obey, serves to bring all law into contempt. It is very important in a republic, that the people should respect the laws, for if we throw them to the winds, what becomes of civil government?
