I'm sorry, it was just an assumption based on your posts and the Conservative lean you have. I believe in the rule of law, to an extent, however, I do think that it's important to recognize when laws are dumb, and to do something about it. I would be fine, as would most people, if Trump's policy was for us to just deport people as we find them, but that's not his policy. His policy is to have them detained and separate parents from children, and then eventually have them deported, or maybe to a sanctuary city, at this point. and, if you're going to have them moved to a sanctuary city, why not just let them in anyway? cuz there's nothing stopping them from moving out of the sanctuary cities afterwards.
I am in a philosophical sense a Conservative (in the Burkean sense). That should tell you that I am unlikely to support a populist.
If you feel a law is dumb then there is something that can be done about it: change it through the constitutional and democratic process.
