Law is law. My grandparents did it legally. Period. This country was founded on LAWS and RULES. Those have changed over the years.

You are trying to make a point like:

Well, in 1925, drunk driving wasn't illegal, so I can get smashed off tequila now and shouldn't be arrested for driving under the influence, because our laws used to be different.

Like I said, if you want into "my" country, you have to play by the rules. The same way if I want to go to the Philippines, I have to play by theirs (I use that as an example because I go there often nowadays).
