SAN ANTONIO -- Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama said that immigration should not be used as "a political football."

The Illinois Senator addressed a rally in a heavily Hispanic neighborhood in San Antonio Tuesday.

Obama said security of the border has to be combined with a pathway to citizenship for people who are already in America.

Obama and Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton will be debate Thursday night in Austin.

The Texas primaries are March 4.

Obama is expected to hold a rally Tuesday night in Houston's 19,000-seat Toyota Center.

No problem "World Citizen", they already have a pathway to citizenship, it is called I-5 to Tijuana, I-35 to Nueva Laredo, Air Lingus to Ireland, China Airlines to Beijing, etc.

You notice he is staying in largely hispanic neighborhoods, the place was probably filled with illegals...

But then not alot of citizens are booing him either so I hope they realize they will reap what they sow!! Don't come crying to me when your neighborhood is destroyed or you job is gone!!

We already have a pathway to citizenship. It's called LEGAL immigration. You apply and wait for the OK to enter, get a green card, work and support yourself and your family for 5 years, then you can get citizenship. Worked for me.

Not hard to understand. OBEY the laws. Illegal? Oops, you broke the laws, GET OUT!

This guy is scary. Doesn't he realize that those words are encouraging more to come each day in hopes of legal status? Granting legal status to the 20 million already here only breeds a need for more illegals.
Legal workers won't work for low wages and will demand benefits. Employers will still hire illegal workers for lower wages.

I thought Obama was promising change?
