WHY: Leaders playing a central role in promoting immigration reform will officially launch the Reform Immigration FOR America Campaign. This groundbreaking, momentum-building effort organizes supporters of immigration reform into a stronger, more effective, and politically savvy national campaign that will help support President Obama and ensure that his promises of comprehensive immigration reform become legislative reality.
The White House will hold a bipartisan and bicameral meeting with Members of Congress on June 8th to continue the process of moving immigration reform forward this year. This is another indication of momentum towards Congressional action with the President’s strong support.
The press conference announcing the Reform Immigration FOR America Campaign is part of a weeklong series of events, including more than 30 local Campaign launch press events in 20 states (June 1), a national summit in Washington bringing together 700 grassroots advocates representing more than 35 states (June 3-5), and a National Town Hall Meeting on Capitol Hill (June 4) on immigration reform.
Additional Spanish-language spokespeople from around the country will be available for interview at this event.
So are there any Anti-Illegal groups going to be a part of this? Or is this meeting of the minds just for Pro-Illegals?
I believe it will be attended exclusively by illegal alien peddlers. I have no doubt some of these same folks will be in attendance when Obama has his illegal alien brainstorming session on June 6th.
Notice they are not offering interviews in any foreign language other than Spanish. I guess the ‘other’ illegal aliens will be left out in the cold.

The family is the basic unit of our society, and immigrants who have the support of strong families are more likely to contribute to society, pay taxes, and start businesses that create jobs. But our broken immigration system divides families and keeps loved ones apart for years and even decades, which discourages them from following the rules and working within the system.
It doesn’t make sense to spend billions of dollars rounding people up, breaking up families, shutting down businesses, and deporting people who are working, learning English, and putting down roots here. For immigrants who don’t have legal status, we should require them to come out of the shadows and register, pay taxes, and start working toward becoming Americans, while keeping their families together.
We have to let the illegals stay and feel at home or the other legals here will be mad and immigrant anarchy will occur! Soooooo..... Send them back to if they don't like the nation that they came to. F*** them if they think we owe them! This is OUR home. And these are NOT invited guests. I suggest the tread on thin ice and mind their p's and q's. I have no patience for this double speak b.s. they are attempting.
Some of us here in Texas may be considered "good ole' boys", but the last thing illegals want is a bunch of us pissed off and aware of this situation. It may be a bad day for illegals...

Couldn't have said it better myself..
I find it especially troubling that they JUSTIFY the criminal acts committed by Illegal Aliens and are basically trying to blackmail people into a corner, "Either you vote for Amnesty OR Illegals are just going to continue to break the law".. What next? Murderers talking about how "good" they are for the economy because there are LESS people working for work after they commit their acts?
cut your welfare off and stop the jobs you steal. run your clown trash squatting asses out of town!
for starters... ha ha cant make us pay.
hows that for to the point without a lot of politically correct bs.
you suck ! whiney leeches! lol run raid!

I suspect that you are being prescient there.
Let the DREAMie losers keep frothing at the mouth with impotent rage since they subconsiously realize the party is over.
If Whites would get their fat behinds up and work instead of getting free checks from the goverment every month maybe this country would be in better shape. Instead they blame the Illegals and get their checks from the goverment while sitting down eating twinkies and getting a bigger ass.
There are many people in this country that work hard every day and do not complaine that their fellow citizens are getting free ride from the goverment.
