Priority immigrants groups? gee..I wonder who that might be.

Priority immigrants groups? gee..I wonder who that might be.

Let's see, come here illegally, and then have the government pay them to become citizens? Well....when they are discussing "immigrants", what other group is there?

Do these CBOs have the resources to even check if a foreigner in this country is legal or illegal? Do they have the expertise to spot fraudulent documents when they come across them? Probably not. But here is a bunch of money so go do whatever you want.

This program is for LEGAL PERMANENT RESIDENTS, not illegal aliens.
What will this program cost when McCain and Obama team up to reward the criminal actions of MILLION of illegal aliens by giving them citizenship.
