Thread: Pro-Con | Should President Obama push for immigration reform

Too many Pro-ILLEGAL comments with too many "recommendations" on the source article.

If you will read the accompanying copy, I believe they are specifically asking whether Congress should pass Heath Shuler's bipartisan "SAVE Act":

"It happens to be a reasonable and needed start at the bigger issue of immigration reform. Because President Obama and Congress are unlikely to achieve anything bigger, Congress should pass Shuler’s bill."

I think this accounts for the majority of "Yes" votes, which is the way I voted here, too.

I am sure I will be advised if this is incorrect.

I guess I read it different than you, the reason I voted NO for "immigration reform" is because of obama's statements quoted in the article:

[i]If President Obama is having a tough time passing health care reform legislation, he, as they say, “ain’t seen nothin’ yet.â€

I agree that the Poll wanted everyone to agree to "reform". I'm always concerned when the word "reform" is used in reference to ILLEGALS, I heard that word way to many times from baby Bush and McAMNESTY during the last few years.
