I was an enthusiastic supporter of your campaign. I support your work in most areas, including health care reform. I abhor Fox News and those "demagogues" who count on the continuing ignorance of the American people about issues to spew hate. HOWEVER, I am and will continue to be very strongly opposed to illegal immigration. I saw its effects for 20 years in Southern Califrnia. I grew up in the 60s during the Zero Population Growth, Save the Earth times. These environmental principles have been abandoned in order to court the votes of special interest groups.

I'm sorry, but people living here illegally always HAD a "pathway" to legal immigration--like the poor schlubs who line up at American embassies all over the world, they could have followed our laws and APPLIED for permission to enter. They have no superior right to live here. But you would concede that to them as a reward for their lawbreaking. We are reliving the amnesty battle of 1986--when the late Sen. Kennedy promised us the LAST amnesty. Like all politicians' promises, that one was empty.

Oddly, I encounter very few people in my broad (liberal, educated) circle who support amnesty. Most everyone I know or talk to opposes it vehemently, because of the fundamental unfairness, because of the economic crisis, because of the devastating impact on the schools, health care, and environment. Amnesty would simply "legalize" 20 million people, add them to our healthcare and welfare and education burden, and start another wave of 20+ million illegal immigrants--there is NO sign that you are going to be enforcing the laws any better this time around. But you would dismiss their beliefs out of hand and implicitly accuse them of racism or nativism.

I do not beieve that you are speaking from principle, but from political expediency, and that is a huge disappointment to me. Get away from your handlers and get out to talk to average Americans.

This note is for those of you who voted for 'The Changes' and are now distressed because He is for total amnesty of illegals. If you had been paying attention to the comments He made during the primary debates and subsequent presidential debates, you would have heard him state repeatedly that he was in favor of 'some sort of plan to accommodate' (provide amnesty for) the illegals. Was he lying then ?? Or is He just living up to the promise. You judge.

I think the people,finally get it.!
for 4 yrs and 6 months.,we have called,written,faxed,e-mail,
and petitioned,and what has the response been? We are ignored,then attacked,an called names
Obama-care is the proverbial"STRAW"!This is a power grab
for social control of our lives,Don`t let it happen!
Stay FOCUSED,and come election time clean house!
There is no longer a difference between the DEM.or the GOP,
and if you feel powerless try this,I ask everyone,If you are an American,register as an,
INDEPENDENT...! Show them they have woken the sleeping giant.
Also boycott all products advertised on left wing media,
see how fast they dry-up and blow away !

And where are my fellow VETERENS? I hear no outrage from VET.groups?
America is a VERY SPECIAL place people,PROTECT HER!

Ask your so-called representatives to answer you just one question: If they want "another" Amnesty, what do they intend to do with those that enter ILLEGALLY "after" that?, yet "another" Amnesty??? We had a "one-time" Amnesty in 1986, but no enforcement, so anyone that came to our country ILLEGALLY after 1986 has to be deported! Just enforce our Laws!

I find that, when Pres. Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid,
can't find anything, personally, wrong with a person, or someone does not think as they do, they just start calling them names. Are they bigots or just snooty?

They can not understand that it is not about any person but, how mass,illegal immigration, is hurting our country

I had a Armenian uncle as a child, he lived with my Grand parents, and I thought he was the best person ever.

Many legal immigrants are agsinst illegal immigration also, does that make them demogogues as well?

Every person in America came from another country, but it was done lawfully and legally.

Simply said, America has to have legal and controlled immigration, not just rampant immigration, without knowing who they are. That's like asking terrorists and criminal to just come to America and rob us or kill us if you want too.

The problem we African-Americans have is that we sent representatives to Congress to speak for us, but Miss Nancy and Master Harry have told them to sit down and shut up when it comes to the topic of illegal immigration. From California to the southeast, illegal aliens have been taking jobs away from African-Americans who are lower-middle class folks -- factory workers, maids, cooks, waitresses, janitors, construction workers, gardeners, etc. We need to tell the Black Caucus to get a backbone and tell Obama for us that amnesty is unacceptable and he will not get our support on his second term if he persists. Its that simple! Right now, we have no representative except NumbersUSA!!!!!!!!!!!!
