66. He's only saying this because Kobach knows what he would do in the majority.

Nov 2014

I can't believe how much hyperbole is involved, and paranoia. Being homeless so long. I traveled America and worked numerous migrant labor jobs from Idaho and Northern Maine to Florida, back to Washington State and California.

Most of my employers were rightwingers. They want to keep the old system to keep wages down. Under this new Obama system, it legalizes the workers and Kobach must hate that.

Never in all my travels did I ever fear my Latino workmates. I was the only white guy in an onion factory and listening to fast Spanish from 500 people was a bit of culture shock I have to admit, I thought it was making me lightheaded.

The GOP is ruling through fear again.
