In terms of economic practice, this meant promoting the interests of successful businessmen while destroying trade unions and other organizations of the working class.
I love the fact the Box supports this legislation to normalize illegal immigration. The very act of doing this will destroy the trade unions and give the successful business CHEAP labor driving down the price of the union labor. Box doesn't even understand he is supporting a bill that will make the RICH MORE RICH and help wipe out the middle class.
Cissy... Under Obama warrantless wiretapping is illegal. Collecting phone data is not. Putting them all in one box helps your tirade, but doesn't help your credibility.
Lol! Governement collecting phone data isn't illegal. Yeah, it wasn't in East Germany either.

Page one of the leaked report stasi-in-bstu.pdfBy the time of the East German (GDR) collapse in 1989, it is estimated that the secret police (Ministry of State Security; MfS or Stasi) had 91,000 full time employees and 300,000 informants.
Approximately one in fifty East Germans collaborated with the Stasi, possibly the highest penetration of any society by a security apparatus.
As a result of this collaboration, the Stasi built up an enormous archive containing files on over six million individuals. During the final days of the GDR regime, the Stasi desperately tried to destroy the archive before it could be seized by opponents.
Civil rights activists interrupted the destruction of the files — and a subsequent looting by the CIA[1].
The newly unified German government formed the Federal Commissioner for Stasi Files (BStU) to manage the files and respond to requests by German citizens and journalists for Stasi records.
In addition to intact files, a total of 16,250 sacks containing around 45 million shredded pages were rescued. However it wasn't until May 2007 that a computerised reassembly method was developed capable of dealing such a volume of material. The digital reassembly is predicted to take 4-5 years to complete. During the process many former East German spies and informers are expected to be uncovered.[2]
By the beginning of 2007 the BStU had responded to over six million "Stasi file" record requests. [3]
However from November 2006 allegations started to circulate, most notably in the German news paper Die Welt that the BStU, tasked to guard the Stasi files, had been infiltrated by a number of former Stasi officers and informers. In response the German government commissioned an investigation.
By June 2007, the investigative team, led by Prof. Hans Hugo Klien, a former judge of the German Federal Constitution Court and CDU politician, had completed its confidential report into the infiltration.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, who helped write a bipartisan immigration bill under debate in the Senate, said "conservatives who are trying to block the measure will doom the party and all but guarantee a Democrat will remain in the White House after 2016's election" .
Said Graham: "If we don't pass immigration reform, if we don't get it off the table in a reasonable, practical way, it doesn't matter who you run in 2016. We're in a demographic death spiral as a party and the only way we can get back in good graces with the Hispanic community in my view is pass comprehensive immigration reform. If you don't do that, it really doesn't matter who we run in my view."

Yea... kinda like "who listens to Rand Paul"... The Fringe.
The Demographics remain... the GOP is in a death spiral unless it changes, and most of the "change" is for the worse.

Based on what Joe Biden said, Rand and Ted Cruz "control the party".
Wow, I'm glad to see that you are now following the wisdom of Joe Biden. That's progress! Way to go Cicero. Maybe there is hope for you yet!
