I spoke with one of my best friends about this proposal today. And she surprised me! She is absolutely livid. Why? Because she went through the entire process to become an American citizen (she was born in Canada), and did so legally.

This is a slap in the face of every American who has become a citizen legally- and a kick to the groin of evey American who pays taxes that support illegals through healthcare and welfare.

You are correct, untold thousands of LEGAL immigrants are being spit upon by the Presidents proposal. It absolutely sends the wrong message and that is this: It PAYS to break the law in America. If you come here illegally, you WILL BE REWARDED. If you decide to play by the rules, you will be punished.

I have been working with legal immigrants from the former USSR since 1994 and they are totally against the president’s proposal. Why, because they have entered the country legally and have suffered and strived for many years to do all that our government has asked of them in order to become citizens and the presidents proposal smacks of racial/ethnic favoritism, and injustice. I for one totally agree with their assessment. The proposal stinks to high heaven and I will not support the president or the party in regard to this matter, no matter who tries to sell it to me.
