Pete Stark: Not Allowing Illegals To Work Is Unconstitutional!

[Mr. Silverback]

Sooooo...the federal government can do anything it wants, except for, say, banning illegal aliens from working.

OK, got it.

[McGavin999]

The guy represents his constituants so the majority of people in his district must be vile, crude and ignorant.

[manc]

the voters really do amaze me.
They let this shower of crap into office and then they just keep voting the same in

[AndyJackson]

I hope that folks realize that there are two separate issues. Illegals should not be here and should be removed. On the other hand the US constitution forbids impairment of obligations of contract. Somebody does beneficial service for you, you have to pay him. I don’t care if he is legal or illegal, so long as the service itself is legal. If you allow the government to undermine obligations of contract we are all doomed. We really are. It is one of the few bedrocks that conservatives can rest their case on, and if they allow this to be undone, we are doomed.

I look at someone like Pete Stark and wonder how in the world did he make it in any career– and with utter bewilderment on how he has been elected over a dozen times to be the representation for his constituents!

It's because his constituents are highly educated.

Ahem.

[wita]

Now how did that one get in there? Hand eye coordination, or just plain lack of?

[La Lydia]

Mental disorder. Definitely. Guy has been ga-ga for years.

[CreviceTool]

Perhaps a poll on Fortney Pete Stark:

__Suffers from Age-Related Dementia
__Suffers from Alzheimer’s Disease
__Suffers from Alcoholism
__Suffers from Drug Dependency
__All of the Above

[albie]

The insane statements are never ending. Next up, “if the government doesn’t throw every conservative in jail immediately, it would be unconstitutional”.

[dirtboy]

I don’t care if he is legal or illegal, so long as the service itself is legal.

By law, the underlying contract is illegal. Governments reserve the right to put limitations on what is legal in a contract, such as not allowing those under 18 to enter into a contract, and those not here legally to enter into an employment contract.

[hal ogen]

This waste, stark, must dig deep into his one remaining sort-of functioning brain cell to come up with his garbled utterances. What a fool.

[Texas Eagle]

Funny how these RATS are always pushing for higher and higher minimum wages and then they are the first ones to argue that illegals should be allowed to work even if it's for next to nothing.

What he oughta be doing is working towards Unionizing illegal laborers.

Wa-a-a-a-a-a-a-it a minute......

[Lazamataz]

Okay, Pete Stark is going to run out of material, so I better write him some new ones:

• "Allowing citizens to work at paid jobs is against federal law."
• "Taxation is a Natural Right of all governments."
• "Speaking your mind to a politician is unconstitutional."
• "All people are endowed with the right to die in an alley."
• "The individual states have no court systems. Everything is federal."
• "Dust is a deadly toxin that must be banned."
• "Steak knives are illegal in all 57 states."
• "Islam is our national religion."
• "Owning a car is a felony."
• "Politicians have the Natural Right to rape your daughters."
• "Anyone on the right is not merciful or compassionate, and must be tortured slowly to death."
• "Infants may be clubbed to death like baby seals. It's not only a good idea -- it's the law."
• "I, personally, will kick God's ass."

There's a few for ya, Pete, you dried up senile old communist.

how many times was Rep.Stark dropped on his head as a kid?

Give them a job cleaning up the trash they created coming north while they are going south. They get the money at the border with a warning that the next time we catch their a$$ up here they will be swimming back, and not across the Rio.

Do you read your own post? "...as long as the service itself is legal"

This implies that the government can (and does) interefere in illegal activities.

If there is a law against those in this country illegally from working, then the service they perform is by definition illegal.

One way to slow down the flood of illegal immigration is to take away the incentive for coming here, jobs.

I see nothing unconstitutional about that.

Too late. Auto Industry shareholders lost their contractual rights. Financial industry executives lost their contractual bonuses.
