It is pretty clear what is happening here. So, ignoring the Constitution is now the standard for not being politically correct.
Alabama tried strict immigration laws, and the farmers really suffered the consequences. They bitched to high heaven, and Alabama backed off. There are jobs that Americans do not want to do.
You want citizens to pass a test before they can vote. Some test like was administered in the South before the 60's civil right laws. How many jelly beans are in this 5 gallon jar give or take 5?
So, we should only apply the Constitution for laws that we like. All laws that we don't like are just suggestions, and not really laws.

Typically extreme opposite view, from the "can't be done" clan.
We all know that the constitution has never been changed since it construction, right? Sure.
We also know that the founders did NOT make the constitution to have it perverted to every liberal cause. I am not suggesting mandating a religion. I said either blah blah or none. I also said that exceptions case by case. This is national security and the gov voids the constitution in national emergency situations.
Obama violates the law all the time, and disobeys the supreme court. Are you saying it's ok for him to do it because he is black, or is he held to the same standard as the rest of America?
What's wrong with stipulations on voting rights? Oh, I get it. It might "disenfranchise" the minority voter. Kind of like the voter ID myth that it would disenfranchise the minority voter. Amazing how much the left suddenly is concerned about the minority after history proves that Democrats have always been a hindrance to their freedom.
As far as the farmers are concerned, sooooo? If they can't hire anyone, it's because they won't pay enough. If they have to increase the cost of their product, but harvest it legally, then I'm all for it. A study was done a long time ago that suggested that if you got rid of all the illegal migrants, the cost to each American for groceries would increase by $8 per year. Now, it's been a while so we would have to adjust for inflation.
But, we are a country of laws. You contradict yourself in one comment. You talk about the 1st Amendment and then want to look the other way when it comes to illegals. That is really a problem in America, isn't it? One law is good because you like it, and the other law is bad because it might cost you.
No disrespect meant to you. I am just debating the issues with you. I respect your opinion and you are right about the Religion thing. One can only try though.
