It is now 2013 and President Obama has made Immigration Reform one of the top priorities in his administration.

It looks like Governor Scott again is on the wrong side of the law and the citizens of Florida.
Many of the poor, the minorities, people with disabilities, and workers with limited English proficiency do not own or understand how to operate a computer. Yet in 2011, Governor Scott reformed Florida’s unemployment insurance system by signing a bill, mandating Floridians to apply for unemployment benefits on a computer.
