When did WSJ become a mouthpiece for the left. Why would you have a liberal hack like Wendy Edelberg on your show. She was so concerned with supporting her own biased opinion, she completely ignored basic, but important, information (public vs. private job numbers, the difference between legal and illegal immigration). You are intentionally misleading the public and should be ashamed. So sad - what a waste of time!
