I am not an Obama fan, as I think he is a puppet of the global elite...That being said, i have always thought the phrase 'Illegal Alien' was disgusting and dehumanizing...The phrase used to be 'Displaced Person', and before that, as most of our ancestors were referred to, simply 'Immigrants'.
Maybe it is time to take down the plaque on the Statue of Liberty...
“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-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
The current climate towards undocumented citizens sure doesn't support this invitation...

a “pathway to citizenship”—an amnesty--
“Let’s provide a pathway to citizenship for those who are already here, understanding that they broke the law, so they’re going to have to pay a fine and pay back taxes and, I think, learn English, make sure that they don’t have a criminal record,” said Obama. “There are some hoops that they’re going to have to jump through, but giving them a pathway is the right thing to do
.
“Now, unfortunately, right now this is getting demagogued,” Obama said. “A lot of folks think it’s an easy way to score political points is by trying to act as if there’s a ‘them’ and an ‘us,’ instead of just an ‘us.’ And I’m always suspicious of politics that is dividing people instead of bringing them together. I think now is the time for us to come together.”

Is not lame, it seems that most politicians in the west side of the nation are kissing up to Latinos, .
What's wrong with our nations politicians that they have the need to beg to Latinos for vote while craping on the legal tax payer.
