"Illegal Immigrants make bad choices" and other incomplete arguments

Personal Responsibility is a large part of the basic Conservative philosophy. Conservative commentators often press taking responsibility for your own choices. While they do mean it, it does not hurt that the basic idea is an easy sell. Who would be against it?

However, most of the conservative commentators apply the idea only half way. For example, when writing about illegal immigrants there is much about making the immigrant suffer the consequence of their choice; as if they were the only ones making a choice. Left out of the discussion is the choices made by the employers. Presumably, roving bands of illegals force fast food restaurant owners to hire them at low wages.

Not finishing the argument lets the conservatives protect one of their favored groups but distorts the solutions they propose. (something they are often willing to accuse liberals of doing)
