Poll: Local Honor Student in my hometown to be deported.
- Thread starter CRAVE CASE 55
- Start date
I'm actually torn on this issue. Normally, I'm all for deporting illegal aliens, but this kid by the sounds of it, is a lot more patriotic than a lot of U.S. born citizens. Not to mention he seems to have a really bright future. It would be a shame for him to be sent back.
Any person who performs exceptionally and proves themselves to be law abiding citizens while in a nation should be granted citizenship. Now, if he had made the choice to go illegally, perhaps deportation would be justified as he would have shown upon arrival he was not a law abiding citizen. However, if a nation continue to compete in the world, we need the best of the best. It is unwise to deport honor students for the survival of a nation.
My nation does this same sort of nonsense, and it always angers me.

And yet, you just know that a hell of a lot of American citizens will squander their 'God-given' right to suckle off the teat of their fair country by virtue of being born there. What an arbitrary method of deciding human worth.
My point being, if a boy who has the ability to contribute to a country's society is exiled from it, yet millions of kilos of human waste get to enjoy a life of opportunities and wealth just because they came out of the right hole (if you'll pardon the image), then there may just be a little something wrong with the way we are deciding these things.

To those arguing in the lines of "law's law. period.", I'd like to know their opinion about situations like the following:
"An Afghan bill allowing a husband to starve his wife if she refuses to have sex has been published in the official gazette and become law."

(I know it's old news, but I just wanted a specific example)
Would you say your arguments are still valid in such cases?
More generally: laws are different all over the world. Laws have constantly been changed over time. How then, could you do as if the law is some kind universal truth? As if it should always, under any circumstance, be enforced, regardless of exceptional cases?
To each his or her opinion; if you think the deportation is justified, fine, but I think you can't defend it with such a shallow argument.
