Immigrants 'Too Lazy To Get Off Their Asses' Says Chief of Staff Kelly
Taking a page from President Donald Trump’s book, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly spent Tuesday perpetuating fake news about undocumented immigrants. “There are 690,000 official DACA registrants and the President sent over what amounts to be two and a half times that number, to 1.8 million,” Kelly said…
