I’d settle for a teachable brain.

He was arrested because his Social was detected as fraudulent by ICE.
When he started working for our parent company there were no I9’s etc and no computer databases (almost 20 yrs ago) but when our business rolled over to local ownership, the I9 system apparently kicked him out. I’m writing letters and even offered to help his attorney in any way I can.
So, don’t paint some picture in your mind of who you think I am. I don’t think everybody is a bad guy. I would support a sponsorship program for guys like my employee. He’s earned his stay. No criminal record etc.

I have absolutely no problem with hard working illegals who've been here awhile.

People who had 51 were technically correct in their picks though. Murkowski abstained so Daines could attend his daughters wedding without fear of having to fly back and break a possible deadlock if someone flipped.

Her and Daines were paired.
Daines couldn't make it and was a yes. She was a no. You remove a yes and you remove a no, they both vote present even though one isn't.

Can she get pregnant doing that? Seems a little old, but you never know. Better to ask than assume.

My employee wAs granted a green card for 2 years and if he gets in no trouble, a 3rd optional year.
The reasoning was that he had started the process to become a legal citizen twice over the last 20 yrsand ran out of money. They are allowing him to re-open one of those cases. We will help him out.
