Hosting a party where you share beer, don't police crashers, and let **** take more than contribute and steal from you makes you the most egregious violator.
Following the analogy, then, the host or "government" (since they're running the show they're clearly the analog), is the greater transgressor.
Make people bring their own damn beer, police crashers, and if you do have any community property, stomp anybody who violates it.
Yeah see I dont get why the "host" is the government. If you're a host, you're paying for wherever it is you're hosting this party right? Your house, apartment, some hall, whatever. You're paying for the mortgage or rent from your own pocket. That to me is a host. Government isnt paying from earnings, they are spending money brought in from taxes.
Because when it comes to your analogy, as listed by RD below exactly as I envisioned it, the layout is as follows:
Host: Citizens
Invitees: Legal Immigrants
Crashers: Illegal Immigrants.
But what you're failing to recognize is that the citizens are not dealt with on an individual basis, while the immigrants are. That is to say, individual citizens don't issue green cards and visas, instead they are grouped and represented by the national government. That government represents that group and issues such rules and identitification as necessary. As such, the roles should instead be restated as:
Host: Government [representing citizens]
Invitees: Legal immigrants
Crashers: Illegal immigrants.
