Underage Illegal Worker Dies

This story describes how a Hispanic advocacy group is pressuring to get the government to provide more workplace protections for illegal aliens who don't speak English. I don't lack compassion for the unfortunate, however, it's difficult for me to accept the government establishing policies and writing rules and regulations for protection of non-citizens.

This kind of thing just frosts my cookies. Maybe we ought to change the Preamble to the Constitution to state,

We the People of the United States from Wherever, . . . .

All it takes is the concurrence of two-thirds of Congress and ratification by three-fourths of the states within seven years. Then my cookies would be unfrosted.

An emailer asked if I'm advocating an amendment to the Constitution. No, not at all. What I think is the government should not make policies or laws protecting foreign nationals who are illegally in the US. The question of legality should be resolved before considering any governmental protections. My original comment was based upon the legality question and I pointed out that if the Constitution was changed, there would be no legality question.
