A lot of people would still be alive if we executed drunk drivers on the first offense.
But none of this "what if" actually addresses the issue of whether or not executing people for drunk driving makes sense.

None of your "what if" proves anything regarding immigration policy and its justification.


Suppose we discovered a Mexican citizen / illegal immigrant who had just created the cure for cancer, and then he got deported.
I guess that proves we gotta have open borders, huh...
An illegal immigrant who just created a cure for cancer would not be deported because he would add value to American society instead of taking away from it.
