Does this mean the house will have to process I-9's and keep records of the documentation?

And maybe have a voter registration booth down the hall.

Yeah. Communications workers?

Wouldn’t the purple people beaters - SEIU be a better fit?

Service in the animal husbandry sense is right in there...

This union will not be the first union of whores. The Democrat party was the first such union.
