Yes or No

Assuming you're asking the following:

'If you rob a bank armed, and hold hostage(s), should you go to jail?'

Then, the answer is 'Yes.'

Well Libs if a man with a family breaks the law and robs a bank. Would enforcing the law putting him in jail be ripping a family apart? We cant do that can we?

Robbing a bank is a vastly greater crime, morally and to a lesser extent legally, than crossing an arbitrary line on a map without permission.

You have to think of it in terms of harm - how much harm does the crime cause? If it causes minimal harm, the punishment should be equally minimal.

For example, possessing/using weed/pot for personal use causes no harm, so the punishment should be nothing whatsoever.
OR for example, sexually molesting a 5 y/o will harm that child for the remainder of their life, so the punishment should be life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

Robbing a bank potentially harms the bank, depending on their insurance, so the punishment would be whatever has been arbitrarily decided is necessary for taking some money from a bank (1-10 years? I have no idea).
If done armed, there is the potential that you would have hurt/killed a person, which should increase the punishment.
If you hold a person or persons hostage, that implies the intent and usually actual threat to kill them, so that would further increase the punishment.


Crossing a line on a map harms no one directly, and possible indirect harm is loosely defined, politically charged, and hard to pin down.

I am aware that current law considers immigration without following the legal route a crime, and sets out a punishment for it.
I tend to disagree with the law in some areas - I think that legal entry should be streamlined, among other things.
And I think that it is foolish both economically and morally to forcibly remove contributing members of society simply because they entered the country illegally.


Regarding your mention of DUI laws, that is an interesting point.

In general I think the reason for DUI laws is that while a person DUI may not cause harm every time they drive under the influence, the mental/physical state caused by whatever they are under the influence of makes them a danger to themselves and anyone nearby. DUI laws, in short, are intended to strongly discourage such behavior, because it is a threat.

On a related note, it would be silly to charge someone with DUI if they are under the influence of something that does not negatively impact their ability to drive - although I have no doubt that in some cases people have been charged with DUI under those circumstances.
