The anti-immigrant policies enacted in GA in 2011 backfired disastrously then just as our economy is seeing the fallout of having that policy enacted nationwide now.
When are we gonna learn that the fallout from racism is the moral, social, and economic breakdown of America?

I am definitely not following this Don Lemon story. He entered a private not public property and interrupts the pastor while a church activity is underway?
Why does everyone think he has some privilege over the church membership? It's not a public place not a city sidewalk not a public hearing.
