    This is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of stupidity. Another glaring fact they ignore is that they’re using public roads and infrastructure paid for by tax money. Even if they think they aren’t ‘citizens’ of the US they’re still subject to US law just like someone visiting from France would be. It’s all so dumb.
