Legalizing the Illegals:
Will Obama push to have the 12 million illegal aliens now residing in the U. S. provided with legal status? This is a hot button issue that conservative Republicans would like to latch onto. Currently, Republicans as a whole appear even more inept than George W. Bush, which is really saying something.
Out of work Americans hate the thought that illegals might be stealing their opportunity to work, but the truth is that the illegals have been here for quite a while and no one seriously believes that they can be rounded up and shipped out of country in significant numbers to actually affect the economy in terms of freeing up jobs for the unemployed. It just ain't gonna happen.
So they're here, why not make them legal so that they can start functioning as full fledged, tax-paying citizens? And who better to pressure their employers to stop hiring illegals?
