"Well, I might ask you, what about due process? Surely, you remember due process. It’s what you demanded be in place if your son was ever accused of sexual assault."
There are a lot of searing one-liners in this essay, but that one made me gasp the loudest.
"I don’t care if you break the law. I don’t care if anyone breaks the law.
I care if people harm each other. I care if people are hurt. But I do not care about those things because of the law."
A POINT THAT IS RIGHT ON AND PUT IN A VERY FUNNY, SASSY WAY:
"Well, I might ask you, what about due process? Surely, you remember due process. It’s what you demanded be in place if your son was ever accused of sexual assault."
HILARIOUS AND TRUE!:
"The only immigrant hoarding US resources is Elon Musk."
BEAUTIFUL AND CORRECT:
"I think everyone should have food stamps. I think everyone should have food.
Wealthy people are not lining up to enter the food bank, okay?"
FANTASTIC POINT:
"I don’t care about non-wealthy people committing fraud based on invented laws. Does it bother you this much when billionaires do it?"
Right on dude.
If a poor person needs something (like food), they might have to fudge the law (and eat that delicious fudge).
If a rich person wants something (like more moneey), they might lobby the government to literally change the law so they're not breaking it OR they'll just break it or fudge it and hide it or brag about how they're beating the system (their own system) and be glorified because of it.

Incredible piece!! Absolutely agree with the "I don't care" mantra; nothing will ever be as important as human dignity and care. Thank you for writing this <3
Thank you. It drives me insane to hear even the people defending immigrants against right-wing cruelty by saying "well being undocumented is just a civil offense" which sure yes, those arguments are true and may change minds and have their place but like WE MADE THAT UP.

Dear Gabe,
This is an excellent, powerful piece!
PERFECTLY PUT:
"I don’t care if you break the law. I don’t care if anyone breaks the law.
I care if people harm each other. I care if people are hurt. But I do not care about those things because of the law."

100%!!! The leading argument should be about human rights, not stupid documents. Truly infuriating!
