I am so sick of the gruesome twosome.
Why in the world did people not vote for JD Hayworth years ago in AZ, and why can’t we vote out Graham?

in order to receive permits to work Sounds like a visa.

This is nothing less than officials OPENLY PLOTTING AGAINST THEIR OWN NATION. Trump has got to take these disloyal scum down...HARD. Because one way or another they’re going down.
