This offering a similar instance, instead of a reason, has often been criticised as one of the forms of logical depravity in men.

A mouse, for example, does have an interest in not being kicked along the road because it will suffer if it is.

Legal immigration is good for America, if it's controlled and structured via the legal process, of course. But the problem is the system we have in place right now is broken.
