The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Today their children lose many benefits given to illegals.

 :bkmk:   **nononono*   This will be the goal of the DEMS; to approve citizenship in order to vote.   :pondering:  I wonder if they are registering them to vote at the same time?

I've heard rumors that Blossom is hinting at mass amnesty soon.
