The judge was simply wrong if he thinks the illegal broke no laws, not only wrong but a complete idiot.
As I said, that's irrelevant to the case at hand, which concerns NY state law and whether that state law is preempted by *one specific* federal law, IRCA.
All illegals in this country deserve what ever happens to them because they are law breakers and brought their problems onto themselves by being here illegally.
That may be your opinion, but it's not the law in the state of New York.
Whether he lied to his employer or not, he was employed illegally, thereby breaking federal law.
Again, that's your opinion as to what federal law *should* be. But that's not what the federal law actually *is*. Like I said, it's Congress's duty--not the court's--to change the law.
The judge was simply wrong if he thinks the illegal broke no laws, not only wrong but a complete idiot.
You might want to actually read the decision instead of jumping to erroneous conclusions. Just a thought.
