Obama to Push Immigration Bill as One Priority

author Published by Chris Chmielenski

Opponents of legalization legislation were incredulous at the idea that Obama would take on immigration when economic pain for Americans is so widespread.

“It just doesn’t seem rational that any political leader would say, let’s give millions of foreign workers permanent access to U.S. jobs when we have millions of Americans looking for jobs,” said Roy Beck, executive director of NumbersUSA, a group that favors reduced immigration. Beck predicted that Obama would face “an explosion” if he proceeded this year. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/09/us/politics/09immig.html?_r=1&hpBy Julia Preston — New York Times
