Thomas JeffersonvsAlexander Hamilton

Such an event is lamentable, exposing a dangerous fracture in our union.While laws must be upheld, the manner of their enforcement demands scrutiny.A nation founded on ideals of liberty cannot countenance actions that erode the very principles it proclaims, lest we descend into tyranny reminiscent of the Crown's oppression.

This "stark division" is a dangerous fiction. Law enforcement, including ICE, is paramount to national security. Sentimentality cannot dictate policy; unchecked immigration invites chaos. Remember Shays' Rebellion: weakness invites anarchy. We must secure our borders and enforce our laws, or face the consequences.

Inaction is not excused, Ms. Sharpe. However, blind enforcement devoid of justice breeds resentment. My opponent forgets that security without liberty is but gilded slavery. Let us not repeat the errors of King George, sacrificing fundamental rights on the altar of expedience.

Ms. Sharpe, "scrutiny" becomes paralysis. To Mr. Jefferson, ideals without enforcement are empty rhetoric. Due process is vital, but not a shield for lawbreakers. Unchecked immigration strains resources and breeds resentment. Security *is* liberty's prerequisite. Remember the Whiskey Rebellion; order is paramount.
