We verified the remains as a part of the legal system. The only issue is at what level does it become mandatory and how do we improve that in the system. The Obama Administration works from targeting unauthorized individuals to targeting employers since january of 2009, there are more than 8000 employers.

Therefore th
To privatize our schools are setting up academies. Dr. Martin Luther King Academy of leadership and enterprise. Or they will name them for langston hughes, frederick douglass. I do not think a lot people should let them name the schools. [laughter] [applause] they should name it for people they do not like. [laughter] here are a few points. I will be unfashionable tonight. Everyone in washington seems to think the way to solve the problems in our schools is to not give them another cent, another penny, to improve and make the Schools Look Like places that are inviting and respect the value of children.
