Immigration is one of the duties of the federal government. It devises the policies and enforces them. Under Article Four, Section Four it says the states shall be protected from invasion.
The federal government has every right to regulate access to our nation, and to devise laws and enforce them. The employer mandate is constitutional. It is in accordance the mentioned Article and Section mentioned above.
Even when the border was being enforced as it should have been, we have always had problems with illegals taking jobs. E-Verify brings that to a screeching halt.
The only thing that would matter would be the contract between employer and employee.
Employers do not supercede the duty of the federal government to oversee immigration, devise immigraton policy, and enforce immigration policy.
There are NO ‘American jobs’; they do not belong to anyone BUT the employer; the one who will pay the wage (and fed. extortion of taxes and the like).
The workforce in the United States is made up of Citizens of the United States, or others as per the discression of the federal government. The federal government has every right to oversee who works in the United States.
It is part of the immigration policies of the United States. The federal government has a vested interest in making sure the nation is not over-run by foreign nationals. It has a vested interest in making sure regions of our naiton do not become Balkanized. The federal government is supposed to make sure the general welfare of the U. S. Citizen comes first, over the citizens of other nations.
