Yes...and they work for much lower wages than the undocumented do.....and those are jobs that could and should be done by those on the unemployment rolls or social assistance. Prisoners doing work for the state is one thing. Doing it for private corporations so they can avoid paying fair wages is another.

Some States still have the chain gang work assignments. Would the general public be happy with these persons working in hotels, restaurants or any businesses that employ persons without legal authority to work?

With a Republican House and Senate, an impeachment vote is possible. And with a Republican favorite Pence as VP, impeaching Trump simply opens the door to Pence. This could be a brilliant strategy; Trump got them the White House, and now they set him aside in favor of a favorite son Pence, and let all the 'establishment' back into the game.

ETA - and let's face it ... who would you rather have - Pence or Trump? At least Trump is willing to stir things up. Pence, with the full backing of the establishment, could possibly do more harm.

They have to have grounds to impeach him. Trump would never go down without a fight and a drawn out process in the House would do a lot of damage. That said..if he did go off the rails and gives them a legitimate shot..they would likely take it.

GlobalResearch.ca is a left-wing conspiracy site. Among other things, it's a terrific source for 9/11 "truth" nonsense

Even "Gordon Barlow" cited that one. It would be best to avoid it.
