President Obama gave a thumbs up Thursday to the outline of a plan to legalize illegal immigrants and create a flow of low-skilled foreign workers for the future,saying the immigration bill being worked on by a Republican and a Democrat is "promising."
In their broad blueprint,Sens. Charles E. Schumer,New York Democrat,and Lindsey Graham,South Carolina Republican,call for illegal immigrants to be put on a path to citizenship,offer green cards to keep high-skilled foreign university graduates and would create a temporary program for low-skilled workers,with some also getting the chance to become citizens.
The senators also proposed to turn all Social Security cards into tamper-proof IDs to be checked by employers when they are about to hire a worker. The cards would include biometric information designed to prevent counterfeiting —but the senators said the information would not be stored in a government database.
"I congratulate Senators Schumer and Graham for their leadership,and pledge to do everything in my power to forge a bipartisan consensus this year on this important issue so we can continue to move forward on comprehensive immigration reform,"Mr. Obama said in a statement soon after the two senators published their blueprint in a column submitted to The Washington Post.

All I can say is GET INVOLVED. Join with others in groups such as NumbersUSA to fight this. Write,call,fax and email your senators and congressmen DAILY or at least weekly. Let them know America WILL NOT ACCEPT amnesty and/or a path to citizenship for those who have invaded our country. The ELITISTS in Washington have the idea that they can do whatever the hell they please and no one can stop them. But if America stands united we CAN stop them. Remember,if you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem. Again,GET INVOLVED!
Wow! Nothing like this issue to really get all of the racist motherfucking sacks of shit like yourself to come out of the woodwork.
