The Supreme Court rules that spouses of H-1B visa holders can work. Youth unemployment is at 10.5%. H-1B is a joke and a slap in the face of every working American.

"Eyery [illegal] cross into the United States" IS "a criminal act", a misdemeanor on the first offense, a felony on subsequent illegal crossings. This highly educated three-term congresswoman wants to be governor -- but is clueless about a subject she's claiming to know about?
