So you admit the rules are not the same, the standards are not the same, and so forth. There is no question there.
In regards to citizens applying for work v.s Illegals?
Of course there are. Citizens have a right to live and work here and illegals do not. Being here illegally would disqualify illegals from being able to participate.
This is not unfair this is just.

Call it just if you want, but you can't sit here and say "the rules are the same" when they differ depending on where you were born.
What? You just admitted you were wrong, as far as I can tell. Your claim was that the "standards" are the same for everyone. But they're obviously not.

No my claim was that immigration policy is fair to all qualifying applicants.
My claim is that labor laws are fair to all qualified individuals.
Being here illegally disqualifies. Its not unfair or unjust that illegals are not entitled to the same opprotunities as legal residents and citizens. Nor is it our fault that they are not qualified. We as a nation need to take care of our own first, just as a family needs to take care of their own first.
Illegals are a burden imposed upon us. The answer is not to reward them for imposing themselves upon us.

The bolded is why it's not fair to everyone, though. You could say the same of a system that only allowed white workers (not to compare the two, of course). "Sure it's fair, all white workers have equal opportunity."
I'm not arguing about economic priorities or whatever. I'm simply saying that it's clearly not a level playing field between foreigners and citizens.

Its fair amoung legal residents and citizens I would say.
Illegals are disqualified because of their legal status. That is entirely self inflicted.

The point is that a foreigner - one who has NOT immigrated, for instance - is obviously not on the same playing field as a citizen. You claim they have to meet the same "minimum standards" but there are no such standards applied to citizens at all. You can say "that's how it should be," I'm not arguing that point. I'm just saying that there's clearly a different standard.

At this point I dont even know what the discussion is about.
Are you saying that a citizen in Norway doesnt have the same opprotunity for a job in Arizona that say US citizen has? If thats the argument no duh.
My argument was that all qualifying immigrant applicants for immigration have the same opprotunity. All legal immigrants with a ssn have the same opprotunity for work.
