The sad truth of liberal America. They reject basic education and then say "Americans", instead of "liberal Americans", are not educated and that we need illegals to do the jobs. We need a controlled immigration policy of swapping these liberals for educated people from around the world who want to be here. We can give them 5 of ours for every one of theirs but no intelligent, decent, world leader would do that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
