They need to come up with an Affirmative Action table, to show what amount of one race = another. Like 2 Chinese = 1 Viet = 1 black = 4 hispanics. That way, they don't have to worry about it.

timesjoke Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Totally crazy, and exactly what defines this President as someone who does everything in his power to not enforce our immigration laws.
