The blast worked.
A bill carried by Rep.

Eight Democrats defected to the side of the Republicans and Nuñez, completing two arduous days of deliberation that saw the 75-year-old Nuñez stay on his feet, verbally punching and counterpunching opponents, some of whom bitterly complained about the bill skipping committees and the passage of a measure they say singles out Mexican-Americans.

According to the Dims, they’re simply “undocumented”.

Nunez could have offered reciprocity with Mexico on citizenship and drivers licenses ;) Their laws seem all to be one way in Mexico’s favor.
