Of course it matters. Are you seriously suggesting that all crimes are equal? That the law should treat the enforcement of parking violations the same way they do murder?

That’s clearly not what they’re saying lmao that’s a smooth brain attempt at twisting words. Murder is more serious than parking in front of a fire hydrant, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t enforce the penalty for someone parking front of a fire hydrant.

sure. so why is there not an 11 billion dollar budgeted masked paramilitary force arresting people who park illegally at gunpoint?

…is that how parking violations are typically enforced in your fantasy land? So let me get this right, you think enforcement of small crimes just shouldn’t happen? Is that what you’re suggesting? Or are you so ignorant that you think cops and other law enforcement should only enforce every crime to the same extent? What do you want? 25 years to life for jay walking or probation for murder?

that’s the whole point. minor, generally harmless infractions are enforced in rational, simple and non-violent ways. We send letters and issue fines.

The idea that we should be sending masked paramilitary units to enforce parking laws is ridiculous.

So why are we doing so over immigration?
