Naturally, the Ohio Republican delegation supported immediate deportation of the young "dreamers." Steve Chabot, Bob Gibbs, Bill Johnson, Jim Jordan, Bob Latta, Jim Renacci, Steve Stivers, Pat Tiberi, Mike Turner, Brad Wenstrup, all voted for the deportation of people that arrived here through no fault of their own.
Shame on the Republicans!!!!!
