LAS VEGAS--At the Wynn Las Vegas casino, the ballroom was a veritable gathering of culinary workers in uniform--white chef uniforms and brown maids dresses.
Verbal jousting was spirited as partisans waved their candidates; posters in the face of opponents.
Many members of the Culinar Workers Union, which endorsed Obama, were supporting Clinton and even had posters saying, "I support my union. I support Hillary."
There was a visible brown-black divide: the majority of African-American caucus participants lined up as Obama supporters, and the majority of Hiispanics as Hillary supporters.

The racial and ethnic divisions among Democrats persists.
The very people who claim Dr. King's mantle mock Dr. King's "dream" of a color-blind society

With such a huge illegal alien population in Nevada, how many misused our Democratic process? Without needing any proof of citizenship and the fact that the culinary union and the entertainment industry is distinquished itself, by a massive need to sign on new union members. There is no doubt in my mind the law was violated because once you break one law, to trespass in our country, no judicial form called Declaration of citizenship executed, will stop foreign nationals under the penalty of perjury.
