That is picking and choosing. cherrypicking what laws you find convenient and what laws you find inconvenient. To my mind. and based upon my experience with my constituents across the State of Texas last week. this is the cause for so much distrust of the Federal Government when it comes to this issue. The basic objection to this underlying bill is not that people dont believe there is a serious problem. it is not that people are racist or antiimmigrant or nativists or knownothings or any of the other names that sometimes people are called. It is that the American people believe we have been here before. In 1986. they gave their trust to the Federal Government to actually fix this problem by granting a onetime amnesty and then providing for an enforcement system that would actually be enforced against employers who hire people who cannot legally work here.
