Josh,

Eric,

It’s districT. Did you go to publik skool?

Gwen,

Have you ever heard of MS-13? You know, the most violent gang in the US. Most of their members are illegal aliens.

Many American Citizens are killed every year by illegal aliens. Do a google search if you disagree.

I don't think they are going to be able to win even a house or senate seat. If they don't realise that America is a Melting pot. The republican party is going to come to an end in the next 20 years.

But what does she have to say about the workers who come to work,for low wages, below the minimum, off the books, and off social security too who do jobs quietly that not many Americans choose to do? Does she vote to raise the minimum wages so people don't have to work like strippers-below the minimum/?Does she fight for worker safety at the mines and factories? Where does she stand on regulations--to protect against unleaded toys, and unsafe cough drops from abroad. Itis always "There's too much regulation,taxes are too high" so the regulations are not enforced because there's no one to do so, or no rules at all. Disease she says-where is she on universal health care,or better yet, health care for immigrants-Nowhere?
