[url=http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/obama-announce-immigration-reform-plan-las-vegas-113806207--election.html]So Obama is pushing congress to pass this bill[/url] (if they don't move fast enough with the Senate bill) which will basically allow all illegal immigrants in the US a chance at becoming legal. It will also tighten border security to prevent future illegal immigrants, but what do you think of this? Do you think that we should be giving people who crossed the borders illegally citizenship? These people did in fact break the laws of the US, so should we go ahead and make them citizens?

[quote]In his speech, Obama laid out "markers" for reform, saying any comprehensive immigration bill must give most of the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants a chance to earn their citizenship gradually if they pay a fine, learn English and pass a background check. Immigrants would also have to get to "the back of the line," which means people who have already applied for green cards would have their applications processed first. The president's bill would also include an employment verification system, more border security and a revamping of the legal immigration system to provide more visas for top graduates of U.S. universities and to reduce lengthy wait times for visas for relatives of U.S. citizens.[/quote] What part of this says he's going to make all illegal immigrants legal again?
