Up to this point, I’d been leaning in the direction of enforcing existing immigration laws on undocumented residents. Which meant deportation, not amnesty.

I just placed a phone call to a staffing agency for business-related stuff, and I was placed on hold while they went to find my appropriate contact. (side note: they all sit 5 feet from one another, yet need 2 minutes to locate their co-workers when someone calls. Especially if that someone on the phone […]
