You almost got that 14th amendment quote right but there is a pesky semicolon you seem to have overlooked. Quoting only half the sentence is very misleading and was likely just an oversight on your part so for the benefit of us all I have included the full sentence below.

The full sentence reads:
No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

While it is true that an alien is not a citizen I think even the most stubborn among us will admit that he is a person.

You forgot the one of the most important identifying features of illegal immigrants. Shoes!

Brian Bilbray (R-CA) claims we can spot an illegal alien by looking at their shoes. I call on every red-blooded American to start scanning for suspicious footwear.

The link you cite is to the set of proposed house amendments to the senate bill but I do not think this was actual law signed by the governor.

I believe it is either this version or this version but i have not been able to find a definitive answer.

inquiring minds want to know.

You are quoting from the house version of the bill. I believe the governor signed the senate version which does not actually detail what sorts of identification are acceptable. Can anyone verify which of the two versions was signed into law?

No, good sir, you're on the level.

If the observation of my wife's family can be extrapolated to the general Vietnamese population then I have a few predictions.

It is quite likely the dorms will have hard beds, the workers will bathe with sponge and bucket and they will take naps at lunch time. The cafeteria food will probably suck though I think it would be better than in China(hard to mess up ph). The work will be long and tiring and the pay will be in cents\hour and the demand for these jobs will be intense.

My wife's family in Viet Nam are mostly peasant farmers and would likely trade back breaking field labor for factory work in a heartbeat. To be out of the sun and earning a stable income, so I am told, is seen as a big deal for both the family and the individual. By family I do not mean the typical American Nuclear Family. At any one time there may be three or four generations living in the same household. Grandparents take care of the little ones so the younger adults can work. If a few family members can land these types of jobs the money sent home improves the standard of living for the entire family.

It is an editor's job to determine what makes it into any given publication. An editor at the National Enquirer will likely be looking for a very different type of story that the editor at Cat Fancier. It is also an editor's job to demand rewrites or changes if the submitted piece fails to meet the requirements of the organization. A journalist is always free to refuse with the understanding that the piece will likely not be published.

The way I see it Apple is acting in its capacity as an editor for their publication. The fact that they publish applications instead of print articles makes little difference. It is their publication and they are shaping it in a way that best suits their needs and goals. I don't get the sense that Apple is trying to suppress the work of this artist. While they did reject distributing his application there is no indication that he is barred from distributing the content in other ways. He could serve these things up from an ad supported porn site through the web browser for all Apple cares.

I do not blame Apple for being cautious in publishing this sort of thing. When an article is published in the Economist it is the publisher that takes the heat for what was said. Political cartoons can and have cause some serious unrest that I suspect Apple wants no part of. The riots over the cartoon depicting Mohammad come to mind. If they distribute the application and there is a big international stink over one of the cartoons it could be bad for Apple. Bad for their image and bad for their customers.
