Don't Base Laws For All on Rare Hard Cases

The MSM loves to do things like focusing on a bright, attractive student who is a high achiever, and note that since the student was brought here illegally by his parents when he was only two years old, he isn't eligible for certain things like in-state rates at taxpayer-subsidized universities and certain loans or grants, and wouldn't it be horrible for this person, who is likely to find a cure for cancer (despite not being able to be employed legally), to be deported? This is supposed to garner support for shamnesty and free higher education for illegal aliens, and it ignores all of the dependency, crime, and infrastructure wear & tear that comes along with some illegal aliens, and that most illegal aliens won't be doing stellar work at top universities.

The rare cases that make for captivating news stories are not typical. That is what I think about when papers like the Los Angeles Times feature a same-sex couple that has been together for 40 years, facing mortality, and want to know why they can't get a marriage license in California without a bride. They did have their chance in 2008, but I guess 37 years just wasn't enough time to decide if they were right for each other or not.
