Ahem...

Technically speaking, Babeau gave an
"illegal" a job.
Ahem.


September 2, 2011, speech to the Republican National Hispanic Assembly Convention in Tampa, Florida
"Let me tell you about immigration from my standpoint. I think number one, we should secure out border, and number two, We should put in place an employment verification system. And by that I mean that everybody who is not a United States citizen with a valid social security number would be expected to get a card with their name and number and some biometric information and would indicate their work status. Whether they have a visa that allows them to work here or not. And then when an employer is thinking of hiring someone, if they don't have a valid social security number, he/she ask for the card, they put the number in the computer, and the federal database immediately tells them whether they are available to be working or not. If they're not, you can't hire them. And if you do, you get the same penalties and fines as if you are not paying your taxes."

no matter how anyone tries to spin it. It's the hypocrisy and the abuse of power (threats) we should be focusing on.

If Babeau gains a seat in Congress, he won't be working toward equality for the 99%, he's owned by TPTB.
