We follow the law not because the law is good, but because people hate cheaters.  If it&#x27;s a crappy law, following it hurts less when everyone is <i>equally</i> exposed to its crappiness.  What we hate most of all is when someone blatantly, obviously cheats <i>and gets away with it</i>.<p>It isn&#x27;t about the law being the law, but everyone being equal before it.<p>Besides that, a bad law can be changed to be better (in theory).  We can do that via the sanctioned legislative process, or through mass civil disobedience.<p>These companies that are cheating various provisions of immigration law aren&#x27;t doing it as a protest, but as a means to make a quick buck from a bunch of people who can&#x27;t effectively seek redress.
