Aren't the republicans on another two week vacation? And they get paid for it. This is the 5th or 6th time so far this year (3 months). Fire them all. When I worked I was lucky to get a one day weekend.
this new immigration itenerary needs to have concrete measures ex we cant keep anchoring generational families while american families go homeless and they take our jobs
Not the way I heard it. I think CNN is reporting inaccurately.
I will have to agree with G I Joe alone with him I only gotten hours off not a day.
Tighten H1-B, L1visas. No free-pass to illegals. Period.
