This is a panel discussion
Our panel is Laura Jedeed, independent journalist, Stephen Pimpare, law faculty member at Vermont, and Bill Curry, writer, former aide to Bill Clinton, anti-nuclear activist.
-We begin our discussion about the threatened deportations of immigrants . These individuals currently contribute $100 B to Social Security, and will NOT get any of that money back. In addition, many jobs now being done by these immigrants will likely not be done at all.
-Republicans are beginning to splinter with themselves. The populists do not agree with fiscal conservatives.
-It is important to note that the blame placed on immigrants is wrong. Most drugs are brought in by citizens.
-We discuss the aging of lawmakers. Case in point: Kay Granger (R-TX).
-Democrats must develop a bench of new office-holder entrants that represent the voters.
