i dont understand isnt the bill that obama is trying to to pass is about gov run insurance that will not be free, if so i would rather have 12 million people that are the most uninsured and have no preventive care whatsoever so they keep filling our ER's to HAVE INSURANCE i want to put money in the system instead of them sending it to their native countries.... 12-14 million illegal immigrants out of 353 million us citizens ???

i also love it when people get mad because our country is so capitalist that banks give them loans and give them the ok to open up bank accounts..

i rather have them pay me money , by a gov health insurance overall saving me money, shit after that we can charge them 20 a month for illegal immigrant being in public schools .. not bad eh?

the reason im also stating this is because around this issue theres alot of mis information and yet nothing is being done , because this is just such a big hot potato, people need to think logically serious..

The American people are at the end of their fuses, because for decades they have been supporting hundreds of thousands of businesses who hire illegal immigrants? Hundreds of billions of dollars are going into the pockets of corporate executives, because they pay--nothing--other than minimum wages to foreign nationals. Businesses are very well aware that taxpayers will keep supporting the 20 million plus already here, because a government mandated laws says its demanded of us? European Industrialized nations are also in the same place, having to deal with a EU parliament who are also forcing the same mandatory laws. In America there is a safety net for people who have lost their jobs and forced into the breadline?

But illegal alien families who broke our sovereignty laws, have intentionally taken advantage of public welfare and federal legislation that gives them a right to our schools, health care and a whole barrel of benefits instead of US residents. Now President Obama wants to give AMNESTY, rewarding these people for crossing our almost defenseless border. This must not happen to the American workers and the rest of our population, because the Heritage Foundation has stated that just in retirement and pensions it exceeds $2 Trillion dollars. Even legal immigrants numbers have accelerated to 1. 5 million annually. We need no more poor, uneducated to sustain in America. We must cut down quotas to only the skilled contributors, who will not become a public charges. Then does anybody have an answer for those who will come after this AMNESTY? Eventually the millions who will come here, will lead to irreversible OVERPOPULATION.

WE ALREADY HAVE IMMIGRATION LAWS, BUT HAVE SADLY BEEN UNENFORCED AND ARE NOT BROKEN? THE SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS, WANT ABSOLUTELY--NO RESTRICTIONS-- ON HOW MANY FOREIGN CHEAP LABOR CAN BE ALLOWED INTO THE US? OBSERVERS HAVE SEEN THE FINANCIAL IMPACT OF MASS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION INTO THE SANCTUARY STATE OF CALIFORNIA?
Get involved with the power of E-Verify, a composite of the SAVE ACT, to remove illegal immigrants from businesses. Promote in addition 287(g) police law to question persons about their immigration status and stop the weakening of ICE raids and NO MATCH LAW. DON'T LET YOUR POLITICIAN GET AWAY WITH THESE IMMIGRATION TRAVESTIES? Like millions of livid Americans call 202-224-3121 GOOGLE NUMBERSUSA for the Facts, not lies.

Healthcare is definitely a vital issue that should be reformed, no doubt. At the same time if the lack of border enforcement and immigration laws lead to illegal immigrants taking advantage of health coverage, that is counter productive as well. I do agree that Obama cannot expect to fix everything in his first year, especially if he keeps catering to party lines.

In my opinion, healthcare can get put on the backburner. Our tight immigration restrictions have been an overlooked problem for way too long. Once we assimilate these gutsy, entrepreneurial foreigners into our economy, I expect we'll start seeing real revival.

The guy has a lot of term left. If he tries to do everything at once, nothing will get done.

President Obama has A LOT to do, and there's nothing wrong with putting off one thing to focus more on another. I like when he prioritize things because at least you get something done step by step rather than not at all.

I agree with WLS-TV. Obama really needs to do something about the immigration. If it's on the list like it always were before, when will there be changes?

Immigration should be controlled now and not put on the back burner. We are going to spend so much time trying to figure out the health care system and how we can insure everyone... meanwhile "everyone" consists of a lot of illegal aliens that we don't need to be insuring for free. That could take a little stress off this huge health care issue
