Country music in the mid-'90s was a big influence on my career, and I played all the songs that are referenced in '94' back in my club days.

It totally takes me back to those days, and it makes me smile every time I hear it.

country son gay
I think these last 10 years have seen just a huge shift in the psyche of this country as regards gay people. I think AIDS had a lot to do with it.

country keys years
It's all about who gets to work and making sure they're legally present in our country. And to do that nationally E-verify becomes a key component.

Some of the arguments that are made about how it works or does not work don't carry much water with me. I've already used it for several years. It works.
country mean technology
But my view is that you need a system at the border. You need some fencing but you need technology. You need boots on the ground. And then you need to have interior enforcement of our nation's immigration laws inside the country. And that means dealing with the employers who still consistently hire illegal labor.
country thinking government
Based on my experience as a prosecutor in Miami, illegal immigration is one of the most critical issues facing this country. As a prosecutor, I felt the burden of it.

Janet Reno
country children mean
I work with a lot of different charities, and by that I don't mean merely by giving money, but by really getting involved hands-on.

That's something I've always enjoyed both here in America and if I have the opportunity when I'm traveling out of the country. For example, I like to visit orphanages to spend time with the children. That's very important to me. Janet Jackson
