When You Enter an Entity, You become Subject to its Laws

   When the immigrant enters the U.S., he becomes subject to U.S. law. And, we start reminding him how important Rule of Law is.
   But, how important is international law? Do we feel we, as a country, should abide international law on providing asylum to immigrants?
   When the U.S. entered membership in the U.N., it became subject to international law. Just as we should expect the immigrant to abide the laws of the country he enters, so we should expect us, as a country, to abide the laws of the organization we enter.
   If we believe in Rule of Law, let us believe in it in both cases.
