The logic defies explanation other than its sole intent is to buy hispanic votes.
Because you are comparing a red herring with with market friendly public policy.

Jaywalking is not stealing. Being willing to work as hard or harder than you is also not stealing, unless you believe that hard work should not be rewarded.

Misguided attempts to restrict their liberties???? Give me a break - they are ILLEGAL! They do not have liberties afforded to them that are afforded to legal citizens. Are you illegal yourself or what?

You don't know it "won't work" - for, you have not tried

OBTW, the fence being built? Although not complete, is slowing the numbers of illegals

OBTW, the enhanced law enforcement on the borders? Is arresting and deporting more illegal border crossers than ever before

OBTW, the new employer sanction laws going into effect in many states? Has resulted in increasing number of jobs for those here LEGALLY

The Constitution doesn't differentiate by immigration status. If you are going by laws authorized by our Constitution, it applies regardless.

Prohibition with the US Army didn't stop illegal prospectors in the Black Hills. The US prohibition on alcohol was repealed because it didn't work. Hadrian's Wall didn't work. Etc.

What is wrong with simply fining current black market labor participants and issuing work visas? Everyone else would not want to pay a fine and obtain a work visa from their home country.

What is wrong with taking away the business license of an employer who knowingly hires an illegal immigrant?

I am not impressed by proposed trampling of state's rights and individual liberties under our current administration.

I am even less impressed by jobs being available after causing frictional unemployment costs for those concerned. We could have simply upgraded infrastructure to create more jobs and had something to show for it afterwards.

Neither the states nor the people have any Constitutional authority over US Customs. The states are specifically denied the power to impair in the obligation of contracts and can be considered an infringement in the individual right to create social contracts between private individuals.

Unless of course, you happen to think we wasted our time putting "under God" in the pledge to differentiate ourselves from the godless communists.

Well, I'm sorry Daniel but, the Employer sanctions law was not proposed by the "current administration". It was proposed by the Citizens of a State - who petitioned their legislators - who drafted a bill, that was debated, and passed. Then signed by the Governor

Now, what were you saying about the Constitution Daniel? Isn't there something the corresponding Bill of Rights about the citizens right to petition their government?
