If you would report an undocumented immigrant to ICE you would have reported me to the Nazis and I don’t fucking trust you
A note:
I live in a state where you “have to” report anyone you suspect of being undocumented (that wonderful hellhole of Arizona). Now in practice this law has fallen far short, thank goodness. But if you live in such a place and they start enforcing it, here is how you get around it:
Assume everyone who doesn’t speak English is visiting.
Never ask about their job, because if they tell you they work here then you know they’re not visiting. You see them a lot for several weeks or months? Hm. Someone in the family must be ill. That’s terribly tough. They always dress in old, ratty laborers’ clothes? I feel you, my dude, I can’t afford new clothes either, and my dad has the fashion sense of an aardvark, so sometimes it’s not even about “affording” them. They say they’ve been here for years? You must have misunderstood. Spanish isn’t your first language, after all. First and last name? It never came up, or you don’t recall–you meet a lot of people.
And then, if you’re asked: no, you haven’t seen anyone residing illegally in the United States. Just people visiting.Very good very important addition
I’d report an illegal, as jumping the border is illegal.
Having a religion or an ethnicity is not a crime, thus I would not report you.
Understand that one is not the other. No one is being murdered.
You’d report somebody sheltering Jews by that logic, given it was illegal.
No, that is an assumption on your part.
There’s a difference between “Follow a law that has a legal way of doing the same thing” vs “fuck this ethnic group”.
Would you support someone buying an illegal firearm? I wouldn’t. Not when you can buy a firearm legally. Would you turn someone in for having a different faith than you? I wouldn’t.
Legality =/= morality. It the law for Northern States to return slaves to the South, but it wasn’t right. It was illegal to hide Jews and aid slaves but it was morally the right thing to do. It’s wild I have to explain this, but helping your fellow man is good.
And given you have no issue turning families over to ICE, I have a hard time believing you wouldn’t turn in slaves or Jews in hiding. Which is the exact point the OP is making.

The last thing I painted, I did the composition sketches in a hurry and maybe should have planned it better. I like Eowyn and the Nazgul on their own, but now I’m thinking that the difference in style is a bit jarring. The fellbeast tail especially is really flat and graphical in comparison with the rest of the painting.
Even so, on the whole I feel happy with the result, and I’ve never really enjoyed oils this much before.

Whitney Wolverine pistol
Designed by Robert Hillberg c.1953 using his experience for the USAF and High Standard Manufacturing Co, manufactured by Whitney Firearms Inc. c.1956~58 - serial number 25517.
.22LR 10-round removable box magazine, blowback semi-automatic, nickel plated, light-weight aluminium frame.
The company was named for its proximity to Eli Whitney’s old factory but has otherwise no connection to the early 19th century inventor, while the gun was named after Hillberg’s favourite handegg team the Wolverines, of the University of Michigan.
This pistol’s incredibly 50′s lines did not save it from its cheaper competitors, and its sales never picked up enough to turn a profit.(via qsy-complains-a-lot)
