When AZ passed a police state law?

Ah hellllll no.



Americans refuse to take?

You mean Americans refuse to take at minimum wage, and 16 hour days.

Given the current cast of Republicans that will probably run, it's hard to disagree with this.

Have you ever seen that series on Discovery Channel, "Dirty Jobs" with Mike Rowe? I have yet to see an episode where his "dirty job" was being done by what looked like an illegal immigrant. every dirty, nasty job I see him doing, the guys that normally do it spoke perfect English. so I don't get where thee jobs are that Americans just won't do, especially with today's job market.

Right now Gallup has him at 44% and Rasmussen has him down to 45% approval rating. I guess he may have to get another of his socialist laws passed soon or he will drop below 40% soon. The best part of all this is that even Dems didn't approve him much before Obamacare was passed. He needs to create more of a socialism to get back to 50% and he needs to get that done soon because the election this fall will wipe out his huge majority in Congress and those in the House may well start to rebel against Nasty Nancy.

That is just a talking point of those who want to nationalize all the illegals to get more votes and idiots just don't see what politicians are doing to them.

How downright dirty are some of those jobs??? I love to watch that show and see just what you said about it. I guess he doesn't think that picking fruit is a dirty job.

Gallup has him at 49%. But two years is a long time for things to change for better or worse.
