Obama pushes jobs plan in North Carolina
Mon Jun 13, 2011
- No jobs plan will ever be successful until it includes the following: 1) All illegal migrants must be deported. This frees up jobs at the lower-end of the wage scale and for teenagers just entering the work force and developing a work ethic. There are no jobs Americans won't do.

Students spared amid increase in deportations
Mon Aug 9, 2010

Very interesting comments. Just how far back should we go for war crimes. Let me think. Truman, was pres during WWII. I suspect some of the things we did then were not very nice. If you want to be fair, then you must go back. Oh, your a dem. Well then never mind.
