WHICH NO EMPLOYER WANTS A WORKER WITH WHO HAS A FAMILY MEMBER WITH A LIFE THREATENING ILLNESS LIKE BREAST CANCER. A YEAR OF CHEMO IS VERY EXPENSIVE. As is the 5 years of hormone surpressant, and the 6 weeks of another drug.
Who would take him?
Yes, and while they are at it why don’t the Dems just raise the true flag of Dems and libs. You know the one. It’s the flag with the blue field and red strips removed from it, leaving just the white background. That certainly would make any foreigner who wants to enter the country illegally feel warm, entitled and dominate.

Last I seen he was giving illegal aliens jobs on his staff from Obama’s ,deferred action program.How can he accept our America dollars and sleep at nights ?He looks and acts like he is a member of Mexico congress?
