Although immigration was supposed be on the Obama's agenda already , he has been preoccupied with such things as getting his war spending bill through Congress. But now, immigration advocates are putting pressure on him to move forward on making the changes he promised during the presidential campaign.
That is when he promised the Latino community to push for an overhaul that included legalization of illegals. Now if Obama doesn't keep that promise, there could be a backlash from that community.
In 2008, 724,000 illegal immigrants were stopped from crossing into the United States over the Mexican border. This has slowed down as the recession took a tighter hold on the U.S. and fewer jobs were available.

I think they should uphold the rule of law and govern by the rules set forth by the United States Constitution, as they swore they would with their oaths of office.
Back in the sixties the government came into the schools and brainwashed us with the idea we needed to control the population because it was rising so fast. They said the roads would become crowded and we would run out of things like water.
They unleashed abortions, birth control pills, and other forms of Family Planning.
To allow the country to be over run with the criminals in businesses illegal labor while the criminals in the government aid and abet the invasion is a travesty against mankind.
They have seen to it our children were killed to control the population at the same time allowing the world to export their population problems here.
What about our sacrifices, many made against our will?
P.S. We still haven't recovered from the last time the criminals in business were allowed to bring in their slaves.
gooooooooooooooo obama make us legal.
