Bad laws

An old adage says the best way to get rid of a bad law is to enforce but when Trump did that with the law separating illegal children from illegal parents he got into trouble and had to back away. The law still has not been changed and catch and release is now back in practice. Trump is about to do the same thing on another law regarding legal immigrants. Section 212(a)(4) of the Immigration and Nationality Act as amended says, "Any alien who, in the opinion of the consular officer at the time of application for a visa, or in the opinion of the Attorney general at the time of application for admission or adjustment of status, is likely at any time to become a public charge is inadmissible." The Trump administration wants to enforce this law which says that if you are an immigrant you must show a visible means of supporting your self or your application will be declined. Once again people will probably see this as a hurtful action instead of demanding that the law be changed. Some feel that actions like this make a mockery of the law while others feel that it is better just to ignore the law.
