...and he registered to vote in 2012. So, t wasn't just "he checked a box".

He's had at least one, possibly two, protection orders issued against him, his wages have been garnished for years to force him to pay child support, his previous school district in PA had to pay out nearly $400,000 to settle discrimination claims against him, he lied on his I-9 paperwork, and this is the kind of person that the U.S. should try to keep here?

We'll just agree to disagree on that.
