An Illinois sheriff compared U.S. immigration policy to Nazi Germany recently. He made his comment while being questioned about his support for a bill to give drivers licenses to 250,000 illegal immigrants in Illinois.
Sheriff Mark Curran agreed to debate the controversial legislation at a public meeting on his home turf in Lake County, Illinois. At least, it was supposed to be a debate but then he decided that he didn't want to debate the issue after all.
He was asked by an audience member: Isnt this bill a slap in the face to those who believe in the rule of law? (Video at 23:05)
Ultimately, I believe in the rule of law, Curran said. But we have to be honest about that. When we talk about the rule of law, a couple of things. One, our country had the rule of law that women didnt have the right to vote. Minorities didnt. Rosa Parks got caught in the rule of law. We can go on. Nazi Germany was the rule of law. So, ultimately, some laws are unjust in some sense.
