Here's the story--Update on the closing of the 20+ year old St. Agnes Bakery in St. Paul:
When ten of your bakers quit in fear, it's hard to run a bakery. St. Agnes Bakery had ten bakers quit because of an impending ICE audit.
One can blame all of the politicians who haven't been WILLING to write a current immigration policy for the United States of America...because they can continue to use it to manipulate voters...enough blame here to go around...and around...and around.
Shame on Congress.
As citizens who are paying Congressional salaries, we expect you to do your jobs: Write a budget (we haven't had one for years)...short-term CRs that use children and immigrants and whatever other 'group' can be used as pawns is hateful.
Fix our infrastructure...we are starting to look worse than many 'third' world countries....commerce and communities are suffering (there are now MN communities without potable water); bad roads are bad for commerce.
Create an immigration system for the 21st century that allows for the orderly flow of people..in and out of the country.
Provide health care, what other nations provide for ALL their citizens.
If our current President loves Norwegians...then he should encourage Congress to pass a law (which he should then sign) to turn over the profits from fossil fuels to the national government to provide benefits to our citizens who own and pay taxes for these resources...paid maternity/paternity leave, child care, education, ample vacation time...these resources belong to the citizens. Norwegians live an excellent lifestyle...based on years of wealth from North Sea oil. If we have 'great' resources, use them for the benefits of the American people for a change.
Congress...for once....put on your big boy (and maybe girl) pants and do your jobs.

Icing can be helpful for bakers. ICE, not so much.
