Both the Weekly Standard (which I do not fully trust) and the Wall Street Journal (which I trust more) have called for a biometric ID card for ALL US workers to prove they have legal status. Here’s the Weekly Standard’s quoting the WSJ: The Journal writes that “at least five of the eight senators writing […]

Even the Wall Street Journal said that the name of McDonnell comes up from time to time as a Presidential Candidate in 2016 – “well, that (tax increase) erases that”. Well said, Mark!
