I believe his point was that it is hypocritical for people who have
broken the speed limit laws to argue that immigrants who enter the
country by violating the immigration laws are criminals by not see
themselves as criminals eventhough they have violated speed limit
laws.Also I believe his point was that like speed limit laws far
more people who break the speed limit laws get away with it then are
caught and thus such laws are unmanageable. It is like Browne would
say, government can't stop people from immigrating. Immigration laws
don't work.
