The only problem I'm seeing is with the migrant workers, since the agricultural markets oftentimes depend on their labor.

However, I do think this is a very, very good move in the right direction. I have never agreed with the fact that illegal immigrants essentially have the same rights and protections under the constitution as legal citizens, but do not have to pay taxes or perform any other civic duties.

I find it pretty funny though that immigration rights activists would be protesting in favor of a form of immigration that is by definition "illegal." :p

Then again, this legislation, to be effective, is going to need to begin at the borders - perhaps we finally will get some sincere efforts at securing our nations injuctions with Mexico and Canada?
