PROBLEM: Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) arrives for a weekly Republican Party luncheon at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 17. (Jonathan Ernst/Reuters).
 Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.)  last week helped kill the bipartisan immigration deal in Congress.  He  didn't think the bill went far enough in transforming the U.S. immigration system. Like President Trump   Cotton  thinks the United States should cut legal immigration. The senator's reasoning?
âIt can't simultaneously be true that robots will take all the jobs & that the West needs millions of new immigrants to do the grunt work â tweeted  Cotton  in late January  quoting a Wall Street Journal op-ed from a conservative commentator.
âI think itâs certainly critical that we reduce unskilled and low-skilled workers. It canât both be true ... that we need both more unskilled and low-skilled workers  but robots are going to take all the jobs â  Cotton  told Vox.
âTom Cotton is woefully misinformed â said Joe Brusuelas  chief economist at RSM. âRobots will create more jobs.â

SOLUTION: Tom Cotton

PROBLEM: Sarah L. Myers  41   worked as a special ed teacher at North Boone High School in Poplar Grove  Illinois â just northeast of Rockford  the stateâs third-largest city. The ex-teacher was sentenced to a ten-year prison term after pleading guilty to two sex acts  Fox News reported.
The victim  who was not a special ed student  reported the sexual encounters with the teacher in April and told authorities he had been having regular sexual encounters with  Myers  since November of last year.
 Myers  was credited with 261 days of time spent  but  she  will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of  her  life  the judge ruled.  She  will not be eligible for parole until 85 percent of  her  sentence has been served.
But during the hearing  news broke that yet another student implicated the teacher in a sex act.  Myers  is now accused of a sexual encounter with a student in nearby Champaign County.  She  will also face charges in that case  officials say.

SOLUTION: Sarah L. Myers

PROBLEM: Fergie  apologized on Monday for  her  sultry version of the national anthem the night before that didn’t go over so well at the NBA All-Star Game  particularly on social media. Even Roseanne Barr chimed in.
 Fergie   42  acknowledged that  her  slowed-down jazzy version – as described by People magazine – didn’t strike the right note. Others described  her  take on the “Star Bangled Banner” as “sexy.”
"I've always been honored and proud to perform the national anthem and last night I wanted to try something special for the NBA "  she  said  per People. "I'm a risk taker artistically  but clearly this rendition didn’t strike the intended tone. I love this country and honestly tried my best."
"Something insane and terrible happened before tonight’s NBA All-Star Game " said Chris Thompson  a writer for sports website Deadspin. "No one will ever be able to explain it to my satisfaction. Even in the context of the NBA's disastrous  shriekingly awkward pregame nightmare   Fergie’s national anthem  was an absolute abomination. A goose being strangled in your living room would produce a much more pleasant series of noises."
Actress and comedian Roseanne Barr  whose rendition of  the national anthem  in 1990 at San Diego's Jack Murphy Stadium was roundly criticized as one of the worse  per the Sporting News  even criticized Ferguson's performance on Twitter.
