From the Article: "TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Immigrants in the country illegally can't be given a license to practice law, a question that was raised when a man who moved here from Mexico when he was 9 years old sought a license in Florida, the state Supreme Court ruled Thursday.

The court said federal law prohibits people who are unlawfully in the country from obtaining professional licenses. The justices said state law can override the federal ban, but Florida has taken no action to do so."

Nor should Floridian take such an action.

    My position is that there should be no such thing as illegal immigration. All immigration should be legal, and we should have an open border policy.

    Of course this isn't possible with a massive welfare system in place, so we would need to eliminate the welfare state first.
