Obama says immigration overhaul is essential

Hmmmmm,
they must pay a fine and taxes, learn English and "go to the back of the line" of people trying to enter the United States from their home country.


I don't forsee a huge stampede happening with this suggestion :roll: Why would anyone do this? they are already living and working within the US without legal status..... Immigration DOES require review, however this is not an effective solution... IMO


WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says he is committed to a comprehensive immigration overhaul that includes a way that illegal immigrants can become U.S. citizens.
Obama told a gathering of Hispanics on Friday that U.S. borders must be strengthened to thwart illegal immigration.
He said the millions of people who are now in the U.S. illegally should have the chance to become citizens. He said they must pay a fine and taxes, learn English and "go to the back of the line" of people trying to enter the United States from their home country.
He said employers should not be allowed to exploit illegal immigrants to drive down wages.
Obama made his remarks at the Esperanza National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast and Conference.
"I traveled among unknown men,
In lands beyond the sea:
Nor England! Did I know till then
What love I bore to thee."
