Congressman (and former teacher) Mark Takano schools Republicans on immigration reform



From the official Tumblr of Rep. Mark Takano (D-CA)... So this is an actual draft of a letter circulating among Republican House members, urging to John Boehner to tackle immigration reform through an "incremental, step-by-step approach" rather than consider the comprehensive Senate bill.

The congressman, who taught high school English for 23 years, used the opportunity to take the GOP members to school with a red pen -- and he's a tough grader. The letter gets a big fat F ("see me after votes").

But Rep. Takano does generously offer some follow-up: "If you don't understand the bill - come by my office and I'll explain it." Schooled. Here's a bigger version of the letter:






Weak draft, re-do.
