But, it was a crime to make or drink alcohol during Prohibition"<br /><br />It's not *precisely* the same thing, though. It's not immoral for immigration law to screen for, say, communicable diseases or membership in/support of an enemy of America. So it's not as simple as that.Inspectorhttp://newclarion.comnoreply@blogger.com
