It's one thing to be wrong, but it's even worse to be inconsistent.

So which is it: do people have the right to work anywhere? Or can cities like San Francisco, states such as Arizona, and countries such as Mexico place restrictions on who can compete for work?

People that struggle to stay afloat in economically stressed times. What will the "Aboriginal Blackmen United" do for them? I would also like to know who told you that you would get this as a "Christmas present" because I think the rest of California would like to know who bought your support. This is my tax money too and frankly I would rather pay for competence because giving a job to an incompetent boob who is entitled by an address doesn’t keep a bridge from falling down. I live in SF I work in San Carlos can San Francisco guarantee me a job if San Carlos tells me I can 't work there because I don't live there? Does San Francisco want to give up the money spent here by people who live here and work elsewhere and revenue from people who just decide not spend their money in a place that denied them a job?
