Ugh, Joni spoke on the ending of the dreamer protections

Joni opened her trap about the dreamers

"America has been and always will be a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws. However, many young undocumented children were brought here by parents, caretakers, and so forth through no fault of their own. As I have stated many times before, we must show compassion toward these children. While I do not support giving them citizenship, we must identify and pursue a measured approach that addresses their unique situation, but also respects the importance of our immigration laws and discourages future illegal immigration.


What a way to punt on the issue Joni. A lot of these dreamers may not even remember the country they came from, and knew the United States as their only home.

Your so called constituents are about to get on heck of a shock. When all those Rentals start going empty in Council Bluffs, Souix City,Esterville,Arnolds Park,and every little crap house town in Iowa,don't blame the Democrats for their losses.

Your so called Meat Industry will collapse with the loss of Labor.
