Immigration law is like “King Mino’s labyrinth in Ancient Crete.” -The U.S. Court of Appeals in Lok v.INS, 548 F.2d 37, 38 (2d, 1977).

“The life of the individual has meaning only insofar as it aids in making the life of every living thing nobler and more beautiful. Life is sacred, that is to say, it is the supreme value, to which all other values are subordinate.” –Albert Einstein

A Disturbing Story

"If you don't have enough evidence to charge someone criminally but you think he's illegal, we can make him disappear. Those chilling words were spoken by James Pendergraph, then executive director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Office of State and Local Coordination, at a conference of police and sheriffs in August 2008." By Jacqueline Stevens in The Nation (December 16, 2009). http://www.thenation.com/doc/20100104/stevens/single

Chilling is definitely the right term for that statement.
