Imagine if the laws took us more seriously . That's what America needs. The United States has too much of a police state, too many laws, and too many prisoners as it stands now, so much so that the government can't even afford to pay for it all. The prevailing current is to criminalize everything and put everyone in prison, which is the mark of a society of barbarians rather than civilized people. America should be better than that, and Americans deserve better than that.

I can see one good result: It just might eliminate one of my pet peeves!
JAYWALKERS!
They seem to believe that they have the right to cross the street anywhere, and traffic must stop for them!
They get real upset when cars don't stop. If they want traffic to stop so they don't have to run for their lives, they should use the crosswalks, and pay attention to the lights!
There ARE reasons to NOT run over them, though.
1. It might damage my car.
2. Too much paperwork involved.
I can remember being taught to obey the laws, even the silly minor ones.
It would appear that few people care these days.
Restoring respect for the law just might be a good thing.
Say we stepped up enforcement to the max, hiring thousands of new informants, police officers, and federal agents, and the courts tended towards punishing swiftly and harshly rather than handing down abridged sentences.
Immigration: Immigrant neighborhoods, agricultural processing facilities, farm fields during harvest, even ethnic restaurants would be raided. Hundreds of thousands, even millions, of illegal immigrants would be deported. Those involved otherwise - such as farmers or farm operations directors, employers, heads of businesses small and large alike - would be fined or jailed for employing workers without papers and other offenses. For a short time at least, some neighborhoods would go defunct and landlords would not collect rent; fields would go fallow; houses would be abandoned mid-construction as the carpenters and their helpers would be deported and the bosses fined and in jail for hiring them; the agricultural sector would probably recover, although food costs would escalate.
Copyright / intellectual property: Thousands of infiltrators and informants would be placed within small and medium-sized businesses, and their pirated software would be reported to law enforcement. Local law enforcement agencies would be given the ability to (and mandate to) enforce copyright laws as the pertain to criminal law. This could be even extended to individuals who possess thousands of dollars in pirated software and media, with private individuals given rewards for reporting the pirated content that other individuals possess. Jails would overflow with those arrested for possessing pirated materials.
take a few minutes at your leisure as to the logistics and costs of mass deportations. Take your time.

Take a few minutes to add up what it is costing us to allow them to remain here. Even HS has said it is cheaper to deport them. However, as has been stated in here numerous times we can remove the incentives for them to remain here and to continue to come here which are jobs, benefits and birthright citizenship. Many if not most would leave on their own.....no cost to us.
One of my favorite things about America, the land of police and prisons is that the very act of being intoxicated while in public is ILLEGAL in most places.
People generally don't care about taking away freedom so long as THEY are given a pass.
