If I ran for president, the first thing I’d do is legalize everyone who’s been here paying taxes, working, paying taxes. Mothers and fathers of kids born in the U.S. should get a green card. Peter Stormare Read Quote
How do I control my emotions? How do I stop getting angry so often, or how do I stop being sad?
