Having a State's governor invite people to the state who have already run afoul of the law, demonstrating contempt for the enforcement of laws against a certain group of people (see Identity Politics), emboldens the preferred group to continue breaking laws. So you have an influx of lawbreakers who have a lesser disincentive to follow the law (to put it charitably). Can anyone see how this impacts those who advocate for self-defense? The law abiding citizens, who value their lives enough to obtain effective tools and training, may feel threatened when the Chief Law Enforcement official in the land encourages the lawless (who may have been recently displaced by a hurricane or wildfire) to resettle in their land.Ohio Governor John Kasich (R) urged DACA recipients and other immigrants on Wednesday to come to Ohio, telling CBS This Morning that the so-called DREAMers should go to his state if they “want to go somewhere and live.”
“We’re putting kids, young people in jeopardy, this is not the America that we all love, this is a melting pot,” Kasich said. “If the DREAMers want to go somewhere and live, come to Ohio, we want all the immigrants to come to Ohio, we know how much immigrants contribute.”
Thus, this news story is germane to RKBA/2A/self-defense...especially as we continue to accept this concept that Rights / the Law can be applied differently in various settings.
