If you want to talk about "the rule of law" and not be a screaming hypocrite, you need to start with the highest law in the land which is the US Constitution. It has a few things to say about both the right of us citizens to criticize our government, and our right to not be violently assaulted and summarily executed by government tyrants. This is not surprising, as it was written in the aftermath of similar historical events which kicked off the founding of our country based around individual liberty and limited government. Perhaps try reading some history about our hard-won civil liberties instead of freebasing so much social media that you want to throw away what remains of those liberties just to spite your fellow citizens, whom social media has also made you hate.
It is a dehumanizing Kafkaesque term whose use professes ignorance. But pragmatically, do you think your comment helps convince anyone of your position?
I'm personally ambivalent on illegal immigration in the abstract. But I am of the opinion that even if reforming illegal immigration is someone's pet issue, there are still many reasons they should be opposing the current regime's approach that seemingly requires summarily deporting legal immigrants, unrestrained cruelty against fellow human beings, and now what is shaping up to look an awful lot like the premeditated murder of an American citizen and mother.
In a hypothetical where both could be accomplished at the same time, equitably and humanely, most certainly yes.
Those qualifications are important, lest either issue just be used as a rallying cry to inflict cruelty, pretend token reforms, or otherwise do half the job. If you'd like to respond constructively, I can elaborate.
Also of course we live in the real world where we can't atomically commit to perform both. This makes heuristics highly important. And if this ongoing topic doesn't grate against your own large-context sense of what is more fundamental to the kernel of society, this particular incident should at least run afoul of a small-context concern of when a government is killing its own citizens.
