Nada Prouty was convicted and stripped of her citizenship, but I have been unable to determine if she was deported. She never served any jail time that I could determine. Her current husband is a U.S. citizen who works at the State Department, and who has “represented” us in Pakistan and Egypt(!). Her name mysteriously disappeared from the list of newly certified CPAs in Virginia. Does anybody know the rest of this story?

Too many people on the liberal side of the fence argue that illegal immigration is a racial issue.

The race card - that's their defense w/anything. They are void of truth.

Exactly. That’s my thought every time I see it spelled that way. I’ve never said anything about it before, but it’s really getting to be pet peeve for me. lol

And unlike most illegal aliens, the Americans actually pay some taxes into systems like Social Security and FICA, helping prop it up. ObamaCare Jokes Obama Jokes

They're not "taking" anything ... they're being given jobs by the Americans who are hiring them.

This not a subtle distinction, and it highlights a rather unpleasant economic reality, which is that American workers cost too much (for a variety of reasons).
