> You're right that overstays are a big problem

How exactly are overstays a problem? It's just a person existing in a geographical area longer than the Mafia controlling it would prefer.

All this "theorycrafting" about how best to coerce people for the greater good is silly.

Blah-de-blah-de-blah the government this and the states that and then "we" make everyone do X and Y because Z and then there will be much rejoicing because people have been successfully coerced for the greater good!

Like if I show up at your door each day and force you to skip on one foot for 5 minutes, at gunpoint, that's good because you might not get enough exercise otherwise!

Anyone can see that would be crazy, but when you talk about some huge, gray abstract masses of people, then it's just fine to intervene in their lives in countless different ways.

How about "we" protect people from becoming drug addicts through a certain harmless "gateway drug" by threatening them with life-ruining prison sentences for using/possessing said gateway drug?

Oh wait, "we" tried that already. It didn't "work"[1], and actually WE had no say in any of it!

[1] Unless, of course, the real goal was to hand everyone else's money to the prison industrial complex, in which case it worked splendidly!
