Some of my friends in the USA just lost there jobs because of this.
I thaught the USA was the land of the free obv not.
The really sad part of this whole story is how the legislation happened in the first place.
Near the end off Geoege Bush juniors precidency the legislation snuck through on the back of a bill that was about port security nobody knew anything about it till it was to late
I am speaking here for myself and not the NCCU which i am now president of
