Minnesota just launched our statewide paid leave program.
Starting today new parents, small business owners, and people recovering from illness or injury will have the security to take needed time off work without risking their paycheck.

So RCMP intercepted a group of illegal immigrants including kids in Quebec coming from the US in freezing temperatures. Ya know the first thing we did? Take them to the hospital. Not brutally assault them & send them to El Salvadore! They r seeking asylum & will go thru the PROCESS, unharmed!
