Besides, the approved term from the Ministry of Truth is now “Americans in Waiting”
Cloward, have you met Piven?
Holder and Obama want to take this country down a notch or two... they don’t like us being on our high horse either. Flooding the country with a bunch of third world types will hurt us for a while - but we’ll overcome it.
Odd that they stopped. This administration does not follow laws. Later, we shall find that this program continued without any delay.
