In a paper statement issued Thursday, President Obama once again criticized, albeit indirectly, Arizona's new controversial immigration law.
"The continued failure of the federal government to fix the broken immigration system will leave the door open to a patchwork of actions at the state and local level that are inconsistent and as we have seen recently, often misguided," Mr. Obama wrote.
The President went on to praise a democratic proposal outlined in the Senate as "a very important step in the process" of fixing the national immigration system.
The proposal calls for, among other things, meeting border security benchmarks before anyone in the country illegally can become a legal permanent U.S. resident.
President Obama reiterated in his paper statement, his desire to see stronger border security measures and tougher penalties for employers who hire illegal immigrants as well as requirement for those who are here illegally to "get right with the law," by paying penalties and taxes, learn English, pass criminal background checks and "admit responsibility before they are allowed to get in line and eventually earn citizenship."
"The outline presented today includes many of these elements," the President wrote. "The next critical step is to iron out the details of a bill. We welcome that discussion, and my Administration will play an active role in engaging partners on both sides of the aisle to work toward a bipartisan solution that is based on the fundamental concept of accountability that the American people expect and deserve."

If this is true, then we are moving in the right direction.

I hope so.
We have been reading negative articles and positive ones, so who knows what's gonna happen.

I will be happy if they secure borders first, but let's stop deportation for the people already here also. right? that way we are not legals yet, but they won't take us out of the coutry neither lol

This is kind of reminiscent of the plan as it is laid out in the memo the Democratic leadership released yesterday. Hopefully this is what they really intend to do.

My guess from reading the first few pages is that exactly. If not, then I highly doubt the bill will get enough support if they increase border security while deporting all of the people in the country illegally.

Hopefully, the president continues to show support for immigration reform. For some weird reason I believe this will happen.
