Wonder how much backlash there would be from Ethnic Lobbies like La Raza,Etc
We need a solution that involves hitting the employers and making ID fraud-proof.
You can buy a DL and Birth Cert for 50$ each in many cities across America.
Why is He doing this after he just got done kissing Calderons @zz?
I think he will get angry phone calls from El Presidente after this lol
In 2006, President George W. Bush sent thousands of troops to the border to perform support duties that tie up immigration agents. The troops wouldn't perform significant law enforcement duties.
That program has since ended, and politicians in border states have called for troops to be sent there to curb human and drug smuggling and prevent Mexico's drug violence from spilling over into the United States.
OK,i just read an article about Bush in 06.
Bush was so pro-amnesty that i didnt recall he had done this.
Sending troops done there is fine,but whats the point if you still push Amnesty..
Which was Bush's plan and now Obama's.
Bush sent 200 troops to the border. He also signed into law the 2006 Secure Fence Act....and then didn't fund it. As per usual W & Republican antics...a lot of thrashing and gnawing of teeth, but no actual doing of anything.
But they've got the act & process of obstruction and whining down pat.

To make people FEEL better and think he is doing something while all the while he does nothing,illegal immigration is wanted by BOTH parties.

I agree with both previous posters.
Both parties have failed us on this issue.
Repubs have lobbies for cheap labor and dems have millions..
Of new voters they can get.
Its sick to sell out the country and work AGAINST the will of the people.
Obama will not get his Amnesty and if he did the backlash would..
be incredible.

Who says he's for amnesty? Some talking head? Facts are facts and the numbers don't lie:
The number of deportations each year more than tripled during the Bush era -- and has kept going up since then. During fiscal year 2009, the first fiscal year of the Obama era, 387,790 immigrants were deported -- almost 100,000 more during the last full fiscal year of the Bush presidency.
...
Department of Homeland Security officials stress one big difference between Bush and Obama policies: that the percentage of convicted criminals among the deportees is rising dramatically.
In fiscal year 2008, 31 percent of the 369,221 deportees had criminal records. From October of 2009 to late April of 2010, that figure was up to 48 percent.
Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration group America's Voice, credits Obama with "one significant rollback" relative to the Bush years, "which was of high-profile workplace raids."
But, Sharry said, Obama's record is a far cry from what many of his supporters were expecting. "It's remarkable that Barack Obama as a candidate spoke so movingly about how our enforcement priorities were wrong -- and now he's exceeded the Bush administration level," Sharry said.
Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark.
