so if you may recall until 178994 anybody could go to the dmv and get a driver's license then pete wilson in 1994 that turned things around and for the next 20 years we've criminal listed a large number of immigrants for the only thing they've done wrong is come here to work because we needed to come here to work so this is a major step. and in addition to all of that we also have legislation that actually stops extortion so an employer can in the morning say he is not going to pay you. all the things that occurred have done so in the past week.
