"Sort" of humorous if not true and then you add the following tidbits and it scares you a bit...
In April of 2009 from the New York Times...
"While acknowledging that the recession makes the political battle more difficult, President Obama plans to begin addressing the country’s immigration system this year, including looking for a path for illegal immigrants to become legal, a senior administration official said on Wednesday."
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/09/us...s/09immig.html
Then this interpetation of last nights State of the Union...
"Pres. Obama's obtuse sentence on immigration in his address to the nation revealed a great fear of how the American people would react if he directly called for more foreign workers and for permanent jobs for the estimated 8 million illegal foreign workers.
He seemed to be trying to signal to the supporters of amnesty and "comprehensive immigration reform" that he was still behind them but in words that the voters watching on TV wouldn't understand:
We should continue to work at fixing our broken immigration system to secure our borders and enforce our laws and ensure that everyone who plays by rules can contribute to our economy and enrich our nation.
-- Pres. Obama, State of the Union Address
Reading those words literally, I would have to say I agree. The people who have "played by the rules" are the legal immigrants who are already here. I and NumbersUSA wholeheartedly want all of them to become fully integrated into our society, contributing to our economy and enriching our nation.
Of course, we know that Mr. Obama was actually talking about the foreign workers who have played by the rules . . .
. . . except for the teeny tiny infraction of violating their visas or entering the country illegally or taking a job and government benefits without federal authorization. The President has repeatedly and within the last month asserted that unauthorized aliens in this country should get to keep their jobs and become U.S. citizens."
