Enforce the law

A euphemism used to represent rapid and massive deportation of undocumented immigrants in the United States. In 2016, Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz were often quoted as saying "I will enforce the law" when asked about their stance on illegal immigration.
Federal immigration law says, if we apprehend an individual who is here illegally, they are to be deported. I will enforce the law. -- Ted Cruz

Terry's Law

Terry's Law is the summarisation and simplification of the universal law "If you don't ask for something you wont receive it." condensing it to a much more digestible "Don't ask, don't get".

The origin of the name of the law comes from one particular Terry in the county of Somerset, United Kingdom, where he can often be found living by this adage. This truth has been passed down to his son and friends who to this day live by this one simple truth.
Frank - "Tell you what John, that bird looks right lovely. Think I should take my chances with them?"

John - "Terry's Law John. Don't ask, don't get."

Frank - "Right you are John, right you are."
