Clinton hopes for US immigration fix this year

(AFP) – 6 hours ago

WASHINGTON — US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has voiced hope for reform to the immigration system this year and rejected criticism that the United States was unwelcoming to foreigners.

Clinton this week toured Latin America, where many officials and residents have voiced outrage at a new law in the US border state of Arizona that makes it a crime to lack proper immigration papers.

In an interview with Ecuador's NTN24 television released Friday, Clinton said that President Barack Obama was "working very hard" to win congressional support for a comprehensive immigration reform package.

"He wants it to be this year," she said.

Asked if the United States was becoming increasingly xenophobic, she said: "No, I don't."

"What we believe is that Americans have always been welcoming of immigrants, but they also want to see the laws enforced," she said.

"We need laws that recognize the reality that we have many millions of people who are contributing to our country, they're working, their children are attending and graduating from school," she said.

Obama has pledged to create immigration reforms that would both enforce border security and lay a path for legalization for the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants living in the United States.

But the issue has polarized voters ahead of November mid-term elections and Obama has also put a priority on passing a bill to improve energy security and fight climate change.

It has ben a crime all along. It just has not ben enforced. This needs to stop! The Arizona law is the best news in years.

NO SECRETARY OF STATE, AMERICANS DO NOT WANT AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS. WE WILL REMOVE FROM OFFICE ALL DEMOCRATS THIS NOVEMBER AND IN 2012 WE WILL ELELCT A NEW PRESIDENT BECAUSE OBAMA LIKE YOU SECRETARY OF STATE SUPPORT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND SUPPORT AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS. NO AMNESTY NEVER.

This year meaning before the elections?

""contributing to our country, they're working, their children are attending and graduating from school,"

At the sacrifice of what for our country? They cost more than they're giving.

Hillary says "We need laws that recognize the reality that we have many millions of people who are contributing to our country, they're working, their children are attending and graduating from school," she said.


Yes indeed, we have many millions of people who are illegally working in the US, illegally sending their children to our schools, and illegally graduating from our schools. And we do already have laws, they are just not being enforced by the criminal politicians of this administration and administrations past.

If they pass amnesty, there will be a civil war in this country. It's bad enough they illegally passed health care using bribery and back door deals. If they do this with amnesty, which the majority of americans dont want, they will have one big ass angry mob on their hands.

Vote them out, impeach them, run them out of town on a rail.

In other words, he's holding our laws hostage while he waits for people to concede to amnesty. Go to hell, Obama. Do your job and enforce the laws or get out!

We have to stay active and not get complacent. The pro-amnesty special interests are working hard behind the scenes.

I'll be calling and leaving messages over the weekend. Please call and fax too.
