Actions like murder, robbery, rape are evil regardless of whether they are legal or illegal. Just ask us pro-lifers about "legal" abortion.
Laws such as speed-limit intend to preserve order and prevent negligent homicide.

You say you're not a speeder till they catch you.

So what is the difference if a person moves from Texas to Illinois or from Michoacan to Illinois? Does either move commit an evil act such as murder, robbery or rape? Does either act endanger order?

You're comparing the movement of citizens with that of illegal, undocumented aliens?

When an (illegal) immigrant finds a job in Illinois, is he "stealing" that job away from a citizen? If so, from which specific citizen is he stealing that job? Until the job is "filled" does not the employer "own" that job?
Should there be affirmative action and preferential hiring of citizens? In fact there is. I've known many employers who first offer preferential hiring to citizens and only resort to (illegal) immigrants when they cannot find citizens willing to work.

You're asking me if businesses should feel obligated to hire citizens of the country in which they operate?
I withdraw my argument on the grounds that your world view is looney.

My world view is logically consistent. The real world is looney.
