I would still be here.

But, I really try to avoid such responses to laws including immigration laws. I compare it to responding to child labor and child protection laws by saying "these U.S.A. laws either did not exist or were not so tight 100-300 years ago...so go ahead and let that 12 year old child do factory labor, have consensual sex, and get married...kids are just short adults therefore these laws are moot."

Societies shift; practices, policies, or laws are constructed; practices, policies, or laws are debated; practices, policies, or laws are changed; and the cycle of humanity continues.
