I made a decent living based on the fact that laws were confused, conflicting and downright unconstitutional.
Wait until the later discussions we all will have on "comprehensive immigration reform." If the McCain-Kennedy bill had passed, that would barred any federal prosecution of anyone - citizen or non-citizen - for identity theft and many other felonies due to "suspect class" issues, and would have made no dent on employer violations even with a couple thousand more ICE agents hired specifically for employer review (because no increase in the size of the court which handles those cases was included, and that would have stretched court dockets out several years, resulting in dropped cases)
Legislators don't care if the resolutions/bills are legal. All that matters is that they generate headlines and publicity to carry them through the next election. This President taught Constitutional Law, so he knows HR 3200 is a mess. It's crazy....
Again, the "law of unintended consequences" strikes every time something is rushed through the legislative system.
