Obama to face critical immigration test early

President-elect Obama will likely make several tough decisions on immigration policy during his first few months in office, even if he postpones wide-ranging reform until later in his first term.

Obama will be under pressure from interest groups to review or drop several administrative policies aimed at curbing illegal immigration, which President Bush enacted after he failed in 2007 to persuade lawmakers to pass broad legislation that would have put millions of immigrants on a path to citizenship.

“I think immigration is shaping up to be an issue that he is going to face a consensus of pressure,â€

Yes, and America will see if he sticks up for American workers of all backgrounds and supports immigration enforcement and opposes amnesty, or if he caves to the shrill voices of the pro-illegal alien cheap labor lobby.

This is such a biased article! No wonder people do not trust the print media anymore.

There are six or more pro illegal alien sources and just one pro enforcement source in this article.

Shameful sham!

He will need to be reminded just who he represents - American citizens. He has no responsibility to foreign nationals - especially those who violate our immigration laws.

Yup, and the reporter also wrongly refers to pro-illegal alien groups as "immigration-rights advocates." So typical of the bias we continually see in the MSM.

"The Obama transition team did not respond to requests for comment".


Of course they didn't which shows their true colors. Obama will stop all raids and enforcement measures with 287g the first casualty. He supported illegal alien identity theft through S-2611 with one provision giving social security and other benefits to illegal aliens who used stolen social security numbers. He opposed an amendment by Senator Ensign prior to cloture which would have prohibited this and labeled the use of stolen ssn's a felony which already is one (class C) for US citizens who unlike illegal aliens are spending time in prison separated from their families. The American people are being hoodwinked again as Obama and every America hating pro open borders reconquista cabinet nominee will propose and support a massive stimulus package which will be a taxpayer subsidized illegal alien jobs and benefits giveaway while Americans lose their homes, jobs, pensions and health care. All nominees oppose e-verify and any other measures (including the 1986 IRCA and it's 5 revisions) meant to crack down on identity theft and ensure jobs go only to legal citizens.
The American people have been told to go to hell but stop on the way down to receive the el shafto grande up the wazoo........
