I take your point. Thanks

My daddy made a good living working on carburetors in North and South Carolina during prohibition. He was too old to join the military so he worked for Glen L Martin during WW2.

Most human trafficking involves minors. While I think prostitution should be legalized, it would have zero impact on human trafficking.

Nobody ever said a word about illegals until Trump was elected. The state didn't even keep up with what was being spent on illegals until a comptroller said it might be a good idea 10 or so years ago.
Former Texas Governor, Rick Perry opposed eVerify and the Wall. He understood who buttered his bread. Trump gave him a cabinet position.

Former Florida Governor Rick Scott campaigned on the promise to make eVerify happen in Florida. Once elected, he did not follow through. Then he ran for the Senate and Trump endorsed him.

Go figure.

Sounds pretty communist to me.

Why is it any of your concern how a private company runs its business?
