The White House is Officially Open for Questions : Let’s Ask About Ending the Raids

You have to give it to the Obama administration. The previous U.S. president wasn’t tapped into the power of the internet or rather the power people think they have on the internet. Obama’s most recent strategy is to “open the White House” to questions focused on the economy and to rate other questions up or down.
Now people may think that asking a question about immigration has nothing to do with the economy but even from the perspective of migrant haters it does. After all, wouldn’t the migrant haters say that immigrants are stealing jobs and all getting public assistance?
Pero seriously, think of the money being put into ICE workplace raids and immigrant detention and deportation. I already told you all about the big business that immigrants in prison bring.
Sometime this morning, the President will conduct an online town hall on the economy and answer some of the most popular questions live.

can anything be done about teacher hiring practices. I ask because my 38 year old daughter has a Bachelor degree in early childhood and a Masters in physiology, with a 4.0gpa. She taught second grade for 9 years in Las Vegas, and moved back to New York state to be near me since my husband died . She can not find a teaching job here because of the politics in the school. They say they want the best teachers to teach our children and yet they hire only those teachers that know someone in the district not the best they can. I say this not because she is my daughter, her references and portfolio prove what an outstanding teacher she is. Something needs to be done for the sake of the children, it isn’t fair to the teachers out there like my daughter that have fallen by the wayside.
Thank You
