Their laws are unconstitutional as immigration and border security are within the purview of the Fedgov.

On a different but similar note: So I'm sitting in a bar across from two very large women and I say, "Cool accents. Are you two from Scotland?" One yells back, "It's WALES YOU IDIOT!" I say, "OK so you are two whales from Scotland?"
So she gets appointed as member in an advisory panel, probably non-paying job for which she is eminently qualified. You all are behaving as if she was appointed California AG.
Without knowing her parent's background I would label her an American success story.
The display of xenophobia, islamophobia, allegations of voter fraud and irrelevant father-in-law stories makes me wonder if I stumbled into an alt-right convention.
This chick could very well become the Rosa Parks
of immigration reform
unless Sessions finds a way to deport her ass back to Mexico as some of you wish.
If this is a PAID position, then we are rewarding an illegal alien with taxpayer money. Sorry, but I find that offensive.
If she were a LEGAL resident, I would also label her an American success story. But she is not. And the fact that she is a lawyer makes it all the more ironic to me.
YOU are trying to make this about race, ethnicity, religion, whatever. I am certainly not. I expect most people are not (especially on this forum). I don't care what their backgrounds are, what country they came from, what the color of their skin is, or what religion or other beliefs they have. If they are here illegally, it is wrong. So, you see, that is the exact opposite of "xenophobia, islamophobia", etc.
Rosa Parks was a citizen.
If by "reform" you mean just allowing anyone to come in illegally and do whatever they want, I would hardly call that "reform".
Is she Mexican? I don't even know... .and don't care.
So the illegal alien doing your roof, landscaping, farm labor, etc. gets paid with non-taxpayer money and that is ok?
No, it is not OK. They shouldn't be working. Not only is it illegal to be here without a visa, green card, or citizenship, it is also illegal to hire/pay illegal aliens.

If there is strict enforcement of civil and/or criminal penalties on those employers, illegal immigration will grind to a halt. Problem is there are a lot of hard labor, low paying jobs which will either not get done or cost 2x without the shadow work force. And this is true not just in the southern border states.
(notice how I am unabashedly using the term "illegal aliens" instead of the gentler "undocumentedimmigrants" democrats". Unlike some people who insist on labeling the AR-15 a "modern sporting rifle" instead of the harsher "assault weapon". )
Because an 'assault' weapon is a generic term for any item you assault someone with. Handgun, rifle, baseball bat, rubber chicken.
Illegal alien is a specific description of the residential status of an individual person.

Without knowing her parent's background I would label her an American success story. I fully believe in US sovereignty and the need for border and immigration control, but you are not going to deport some 12 million illegal immigrants without some serious disruption to the economy and society. Sure, get rid of the felons and MS-13 gang members, but you cannot abandon compassion and humanity.
Unless you are 100% Native American, we are all frickin' immigrants or descended from immigrants. The display of xenophobia, islamophobia, allegations of voter fraud and irrelevant father-in-law stories makes me wonder if I stumbled into an alt-right convention.

Either the USA or any sovereign country has the right to control the border and who become citizens or they don't. If we do have the right to control the border then we have to make laws as to how people enter and how they become citizens. People that do not follow the laws for entry are illegally entering the country. Either she followed those laws or she didn't. If she didn't then she is here illegally and can be subjected to deportation. Which part of this don't you agree with?
