That’s a job an American roofing crew could be doing—if they were willing & able to work for minimum wage.
All “Homeland Security” does is bust *our* balls.
Did you notice the Homeland Security committee member Candice Miller

who just got on board with Carly?
Carly is in favor of “comprehensive immigration reform”
and this must sound just swell to the Honorable Candice Miller, Homeland Security.
I was thinking no-fly list myself...........
OMG this will hurt minorities worst than voter ID’s
It'll be internal passports for all, or maybe we'll all be "chipped" like free range cattle.
