WesternUnionCEO People tend to forget this country was founded by immigrants looking to work hard and build a better life for their families and for each other. Agree 100% - our world should be opening doors for each other, not building walls between us.

Translation - 'our business is dependent on illegals sending money home. Without them I can't afford the payments on my boat/house/wife's plastic surgery.' This guy takes fees from vulnerable people who are also breaking the law. Special kind of a-hole.

is that $600 billion dollars of earned income that no income tax was paid on?

Feds indict powerful Philly union boss, councilman, othersPHILADELPHIA (AP) — A powerful union boss who has long held a tight grip on construction jobs in the Philadelphia region and wielded political power in the city and Statehouse has been indicted on embezzlement and fraud charges along with a city councilman who allegedly did his bidding, and six others. Johnny 'Doc' Dougherty exerted complete control over the union, according to the 116-count indictment, using that power to 'repeatedly and persistently steal its funds and put his own self-interests over that of the membership.' All told, the defendants misspent more than $600,000 in union funds, officials said. Shocking *Mafia boss A union boss involved in a criminal enterprise! I'm shocked. SHOCKED!

Why Democratic Congresswomen plan to wear white to Trump's State of the Union address'Wearing suffragette white is a respectful message of solidarity with women across the country, and a declaration that we will not go back on our hard-earned rights,' Democratic Representative Lois Frankel of Florida said. Because it's a childish thing to do. 'they had chosen to wear white not only to honor the memory of the women's suffrage movement, but also to send Trump a message that they would be willing to fight for issues including equal pay, reproductive rights and affordable healthcare.'
