    WHat we could do?

    Maybe if we took care of our own people instead of dealing with everyone elses problems we would be fine. Send Illegals home get back our jobs put down serious fines on these rich people using these illegals, and tax the hell out of the rich people. Oh wait that is never going to happen because everyone in government has them working for them and their not going to tax themselves, they will finish a couple of terms sit on their buts for the rest of their lives. Living in retirement at our expense.
