Yes in deed. Well said.
The idea of rewarding their illegals behaviors should be apalling to all legal citizens.
Oh you got caught speeding? You also don't have a license to drive? And your inspection is 3 years over due? Ok we will give you free insurance for life. This will teach you a lesson to not break our laws.

And at least pay the same as legal aliens had to pay to get here!

But I guess Obama's auntie is still waiting to stay here legally and get free health care, so Obama doesn't need to hide her any longer in the basement....

And the weirdest is that people who overstay their visa (which I'm also against) for let's say 4 months, they get banned to enter the USA for a certain months or years, while illegal will be awarded with a green card if it is up to Obama, how can that be fair and Constitutional?

Then what do you think he meant by that. Come on lets be real, he meant to legal them. Also, his health plan has no provisions to deny healthcare to anyone here illegally, so yes he does plan on covering them.

If Obama moves to grant amnesty to those here illegally, he is going to face a lot of anger and uprising from moderate Democrats like myself who voted for him. That is the one issue where you may be surprised to know that many of his supporters are at odds with him.

Unfortunately, in the 2008 election, the Republican candidate's stand on this issue was not any better than Obama's.

If the Republican's would find and run for president a candidate who is a TRUE conservative and one who has the gonads to secure our borders and enforce our immigration laws, and who is at least somewhat APPEALING (a trait so many Republican politicians seem to lack), they may give Obama a run for his money in the next primary election.

Amnesty will gain the Democrats more members from those "new" citizens to more than offset those that leave the party.

i have an idea ---stop lobbying DC to have ICE look the other way while you work 21 million illegals you recruited to come here-- a quasi slave section of the economy. you know the 21 million, the ones our government and business people say --dont know how they got here and dont know where they work. the ones that work your factories and take care of your yard and do your laundry and clean your bathroom for 10 hours and then you make go sleep in a canyon under the bushes. americans got no problem with slavery as long as its not them. for sure not guna ask their 30 year old child to mow the lawn might get his dockers dirty.
