 But just because our laws are more lenient than others does that mean
 our laws in this respect are correct? I'm not saying that people should
 disregard our laws, but rather that our laws (as well as the Aryan ideology
 behind them) are morally wrong.
 People often try to justify injustice by comparing themselves to others who 
 are more unjust. But there is a higher standard that we have to compare 
 our actions to. The real question is not whether our laws are more lenient 
 than x country's laws, but instead how do our laws compare to the higher 
 standard?
 
 Yes, thanks to the welfare state that exists in our country we can't just
 ditch our immigration laws. But what if we dismantled the welfare state
 first? 
 Just some philosophical food for thought.
