This is a weird opinion to me,

I think the liberal minority is correct in how they analyze what happened. Kansas prosecuted illegal aliens for tax fraud based on their immigration status, and maybe even correct that this should have been preempted. Of course they ignored that the penalties for the tax crime are not remotely the same as for the immigration law violation (the immigration law violation penalties are not criminal).
But the majority is also correct, the only way to implement that decision would be a mess of enormous proportions where putting stuff on an I9 basically acted as a self executing grant of immunity for using the same information in other contexts. And if we adopted the minority position, illegal aliens would actually be immune from tax fraud crimes that everyone else risks.
Anyway, interesting result. Totally split on ideology, but almost on a petty or irrelevant basis.
Long term effect, the majority definitely opened a loop hole that will allow state's to prosecute illegal aliens in connection with fraud committed to get a job. Not sure that's a political result that anyone (other than a few state hardline AGs trying to make names for themselves) wanted.
