First, kill the jobs, then commute sentences

Really bad timing for this thread, wage growth, jump in payroll.


Commuting sentences of inmates for drug charges had bipartisan support, made a lot of sense.

The 215,000 jump in payrolls in March reported by the Labor Department on Friday capped the best two-year period for hiring since the late 1990s, while the proportion of Americans in the labor force — which had been on a downward trajectory since 2001 and an even steeper slide since 2008 — hit a two-year high.

Sell dope, go to jail. Simple.

There would be more job if all the illegals were ejected and the work visa system went away.

Just ask the laid off Disney workers.
