Article: Newsmax.com – Obama Wants 12 Million Illegals to Get Citizenship

Obama’s plan for universal health care would include coverage for illegal immigrants, according to political strategist and Newsmax columnist Dick Morris. Morris has warned that covering illegals “adds dramatically” to the cost of universal health care.
In March, Obama voted to table a Senate amendment that would support the withdrawal of federal assistance “to sanctuary cities that ignore the immigration laws of the United States and create safe havens for illegal aliens and potential terrorists.” McCain did not cast a vote.
Obama supported the McCain-Kennedy immigration reform legislation that was defeated in 2006. Since then, McCain has taken the position that securing the borders must precede immigration reform. Obama continues to support a process to “bring people out of the shadows” and eventually obtain legal status (at which point they would be eligible for the federally mandated benefits available to anyone, such as Social Security). Obama also calls for enhanced border security.
The Democratic candidate for president supports, in principle, providing state-funded welfare benefits to legal immigrants. While a state senator, Obama supported allocating state funds to provide Medicaid coverage to some legal immigrants, according to OnTheIssues.org.
Obama has supported increasing the number of work visas issued each year, such as the H1-B visa, especially for applicants with specialized skills. According to OnTheIssues.org, Obama co-sponsored, along with New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, a bill that would provide federal funding to help states provide health care and education to non-U.S. citizens.
Obama strongly supports encouraging American children to become bilingual and, at one point in the campaign, appeared to suggest it should be mandatory. In June, he voted against a Senate provision that would declare English the national language of the United States. McCain voted for it.

You mean the country they got in illegally, get full medical services and handouts, free education, and don't pay taxes, yeah they're the winners all the way around. If they're poor and living 20 of them to a two bedroom home it's because they send all their money home across the boarder so the rest of their 40 siblings can live in splendor. Oh, and don't think for a minute they're poor. Many of them make well into the middle class of wages. The poor you speak of tend more likely to be the trailer ghetto trash crack whores who get everything for free. Then vomit their issues of "poor me, look what I did to myself!" onto the rest of society.

Wow. So much anger.
It seems to me that the statue of liberty might need a new inscription, because
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

doesn't really seem fitting anymore.

"Stay away, you tired, you poor.
you huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
stay away from our godblessed shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed away from me,
I shake my head as I close our door."

Seems to be more in tune with american tolerance anno 2008.

But maybe it's just me who doesn't get it. I am european.

Really? I thought it was because of Osama.
Well, good to see you're making progress then!

[KnifeHeavy]

exactly! -
that damn osama - its almost like hes running for prez

[Ashen]

LOL . . . No, my only anger actually pines on our government who insists on increasing our tax burden to benefit others, often enabling our problems to grow, benefits I already pay for separately and do not get from the government.

I am all for us being a haven, but these terroristic presidents ^^, I just wish there was a way we could legitimately ask "Hold, who goes there, Friend or Foe?" Many people come here, welcomed, and become productive living the dream but too many others leach, pillage, and pollute.

Oh, and 1<3U!

Silly Europeans...

What you are saying is that if I catch a man breaking and entering, I should apologize for startling him, offer to make him a sandwich and give him a band aid for the cut he got when breaking my bathroom window. After all, Americans are supposed to be hospitable right?

I'm a HUGE supporter of "You break the law, you suffer the consequences". Crossing the border illegally is, well, ILLEGAL. The consequence of breaking that particular law is a ride right back to Mexico.

See that Kaninen, they can try again if they'd like.
