Not only as a politician but also as the president of the Democratic Community for Welfare and Freedom, I often face the question how was it possible to support the strengthening and compliance of immigration rules while we believe in the ideals of welfare and freedom. We just preach water and drink wine? There is both a simple and a more sophisticated answer to this question.
The simple answer is that welfare and freedom are not gifts fell from heaven. Welfare and freedom are results achieved with hard work and often with blood; so their sustainability is duty and responsibility at the same time. Illegal immigration is not only an economic threat but it also endangers homeland security, too.
The other answer has a deeper sense, it is more of a philosophical answer. Republicans are perfectly aware of the rule that there is nothing more nerve-racking than behavioral uncertainty. And a serious state is trying to minimize this uncertainty through norms and laws.
That is why we need a policy of zero tolerance in justice issues. But, of course, this requires enforceable and “lifelike” legislation. This requires norms where the policeman is only punishing to maintain order and not because he collects “surtax” for the government or for his own operating costs. In such a system, there is not a pity theft or a huge one, there is not a small violation of laws or a serious one, there are not “someones” and “some others”. Hungary has reached a point where it is because – since the system change – the ruling classes do not consider themselves bound by the norms. First, this disrupts and splinters the society, then the whole economy, too.
