If the sleazy employer actually rats out the illegal immigrant worker, the employer loses that worker and may find himself prosecuted for knowingly hiring an illegal immigrant.<br /><br />But, aside from that quibble, I agree with you. Illegal immigrant workers are in a dicey situation. It's easy to take advantage of them. E.g., supposedly some illegal workers in Chinese restaurants accept salaries below minimum wage. <br /><br />Leroy -- I think the California laws are nuts. They're parallel to the States' Rights arguments made by the seceding Confederate states. I would love to see the courts rule un-Constitutional the various Sanctuary City and Sanctuary State laws.

One can see the flaw by applying your reasoning to people who violate laws other than immigration laws. <br /><br />Consider a woman who is wanted by the police for murder, or for armed robbery, or for selling drugs to minors, or for bunco games, or for any other crime. If she is raped, she cannot go to the police about it. So, following your reasoning, police shouldn't enforce any crime at all.

When a nonverbal man feels brow-beaten by a woman's talking, he hits her. That shuts her up all right. I hope Brabender never hit his wife or anyone else he considered too talkative, but the implicit approval of such behavior is there in his words, put forth by Somerby as a liberal tendency.<br /><br />To my knowledge, liberals aren't particularly known for spousal abuse, but the right's strong admiration for these strong men of action is pretty well known. Those who do talk a lot are considered somewhat effeminate.

Suppose I say that Trump's policies have been good for women, blacks and Hispanics, because their unemployment rates are now so low. That's a plausible policy point, although you may have counter-arguments that might refute it.<br /><br />But, suppose I say to you, "You have no empathy for women, poor blacks and poor Hispanics who are so needy and disadvantaged!"
