    Hooray to Judge Mazzant and the plaintiffs!

    Another victory for capitalism, unimpeded, and most effective for citizens’ pursuit of the American Dream of Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness.

      You don’t believe in actual capitalism or you wouldn’t be in favor of immigration controls. You don’t know what capitalism is, and favor anything that helps businesses owners and/or hurts workers.

            Move to Canada before PM Justin Trudeau builds a Wall to keep out creepy US Hollyweird, TV, and Music biz celebs who VOWED to emigrate from the US if Trump won, and makes Donald Trump pay for it.

        “You don’t believe in actual capitalism or you wouldn’t be in favor of immigration controls. You don’t know what capitalism is, and favor anything that helps businesses owners and/or hurts workers.”

        Ok, what? So…Obama is clueless then? He also knew you weigh immigration based on the opportunity available in a country or you risk destroying it. He just has a different definition of what that is of which I don’t agree or disagree too strongly.

        Supporting immigration controls is not synonymous with being against capitalism, in fact, being for blanket immigration regardless of economic impact would seem to be incompatible with the principles of capitalism. It would definitely gear more towards socialism, in the sense that social good takes priority over economic security. And even then it is pushing it, because that generally only applies in state for countries that operate like that. Not for outer countries.

        Closed borders or open borders do not determine whether a state is capitalistic or socialist.

    Hooray to Judge Mazzant and the plaintiffs!

    Another victory for the rule of law and the constitution and not one individual’s whim. Even if it is the President.

    Some may want Pelosi out.

    I want Dems to re-elect her, so we can have two more years of yucks from reading or listening to her dimwit ideas and comments.

    I wonder how many people out there making $35,000 salary and being asked to work 60+ hours a week with no extra pay would agree. You take a job thinking you are working 40 hours a week and earning about $17 an hour only to find out you have to put in 60+ hours and it averages $10 an hour. I believe the law was only to apply to those making less than $40,000 a year. Yet Congress finds no problem giving themselves a raise. They earn $174,000+ a year plus benefits.

    Small business drives the economy and jobs creation. Typical of Obama, this is too much, way too fast. Influenced politically by the elite crowd; who are disconnected with business or middle class realities.

    Corporate America has taken advantage of their employees over the years and still do! Yes, I get the small business issue well then pay them hourly and keep them at 40 hours a week! Americans have a life no need to work 60 hours a week because your salary and making 36k a year! Busting work out with integerty for the man who makes 51 million Dollars a year not including bounces!
