The Center for Immigration, also known Town Council of Welaka as CIS, reported that 870,000 illegal immigrants had been ordered to be removed from the U.S over a year ago, but to date not one of the 870,000 has been deported, in fact, they are Students at Code Enforcement, April 8, 5 p.m. still here.

A minimum wage is the lowest Mrs. C Pugh a business can legally pay. A living wage is what its workers need to meet their families’ basic needs – to stave off the choice between a gallon of gas and a gallon of milk. A full-time worker at the federal minimum wage makes $14,500 a year, placing him or her below the federal poverty line if that worker is supporting a family of two or more.
