Just so no one mistakenly believes that I was being sardonic or sarcastic or satirical when I mentioned Tulsi presenting a bill to Congress to help one illegal alien... just got this email from her during lunch...
"On Wednesday, I spoke on the House floor urging my colleagues to support a ‘private bill’ to adjust Andres Magana Ortiz’s eligibility for legal, permanent residence in the United States. My bill, For the relief of Andres Magana Ortiz (H.R. 2794 ), is a last resort option that would permit a farmer, community leader, father and loving husband to remain at his home with his family in Kailua-Kona, Hawai'i. After coming to the U.S. at just 15 years old, and nearly three decades living in Hawai'i, Mr. Ortiz worked his way from coffee picker to small business owner, growing Hawai'i’s coffee economy and creating local jobs. I joined the Hawai'i delegation in sending a letter to DHS Secretary John Kelly, urging him to suspend his deportation order. Mr. Ortiz received a 30-day reprieve from deportation yesterday. Like so many others, Mr. Ortiz deserves the opportunity to continue his pathway to a legal status, and I will continue to pursue legislative options to keep Mr. Ortiz with his family in the United States."
I wonder which illegal aliens Tulsi thinks DON'T "deserve[] the opportunity to continue [their] pathway to a legal status"? If there is a pathway to "legal status" from "illegal status", why have "illegal status" at all in the first place? Seems like she means "If you can get in, you can get legal status. I'll file an Act of Congress if anyone gives you any shit."
