Someone is getting the memo.
Well at least theres one
Not much of an endorsement though.

Their too LAZY. Their not lazy in that they don’t like to work. They LOVE to make money. But... when it comes to the HARD part like paying fines and doing community service and blah blah etc.... all the stuff they will have to accomplish to become full citizens.
NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Thy want the U.S. Government to sprinkle some magic pixie dust on their head and give them citizenship just because they are here and “working”.
That's about it.
I’d rather not see the Feds pass immigration “reform”. It’s hardly likely to be worthy of the term. If other states simply passed Arizona’s law it would satisfy me.
Since the Arizona law was passed, both President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have expressed concerns, as have a number of Republicans, including former Gov. Jeb Bush, Sen. Lindsay Graham and Florida gubernatorial candidate Marco Rubio.Gov. Jeb Bush - hopefully the Bush dynasty is dead forever so who cares what he says.
