“Think about it: unions will never achieve the best terms for workers when a large part of the workforce is illegal and operates in a shadow economy,”

And that is the rationale.

Unions are SOOOOO stupid. They don't realize that with an abundant labor force, they lose all bargaining power. They may think this Kenyan is on their side...but when they are all together in the unemployment line, will they all still love him?

How is this fair to the legitimate immigrants who waited years, spent thousands of dollars, came in on a work or student visa and have to go back to their home country, because their visa expired? Then, these people come in and get to stay with no return.

Did she really say THINK ABOUT IT?

Unbelievable!

So granting amnesty is a solution to our economy?

How about just sending them home, enforcing the law, and admitting through the front door, as should have always been the case.

warnng: bad word ahead.

Obama is such a pussy. He doesn’t have the balls to face the music and leaves the country before Holder announces the terrorists will be tried in New York as criminals, Greg Craig resigns and Napolitano makes this statement.

A LEADER, (someone the voters respect) would make these announcements himself.

Bottom line: Beneath that smug exterior, Obama is afraid of us. Remember when the complaint was “we wants people to like him?” His ego is huge, but it is fragile. We need to figure out how to use it.

No jobs for actual citizens so we’re going to encourage more illegals ... brilliant.

Even the unions should see this is NOT a good idea.

The recent housing boom was fueled by illegals taking jobs away from skilled tradesmen in home construction. Reduced wages = reduced taxes to Uncle Sam = less money for Homeland Security, Porkulus of the U.S. and the swine in the Congress.

Porkulus of the U.S. needs the illegal vote in 2012, too.

Napolitano Announces Obama Administration Plan to Give Amnesty to Illegal Aliens

Good, after all "illegal" is such a harsh word, "displaced foreign speaking patriots" is a much more compassionate title.

The only thing that American citizens want is a Constitutional Amendment prohibiting anyone who has ever entered the US illegally from ever becoming citizens—applied retroactively, and to any and all children thereof who are born to parents who are not citizens or legal residents.

The industrial unions are going away. Most unionized employees are government employees.

He's just picking up where Bush left off. This is prima facie proof that neither party is actually running the country, and whoever is (the Oligarchy) could care less what WE THE PEOPLE want.

I’m sure Juan McCain will be first to reach across the aisle and co-sponsor the bill.

This is going to be very, very difficult to stop — far more difficult than last time since the Democrats now run both the executive and legislative branches, and a significant fraction of the Republicans will vote for this madness.

If that is not bad enough, when he wins a second term, the Supreme court will be remade in his warped image. Churches will have to take crosses down from the outside of the Church, so not to offend anybody....etc etc etc

As soon as this is officially announced (Heaven forbid please!), the criminal aliens are gonna pour over the border like a raging river.

But like the piss poorly planned Cash for Clunkers program, -10nobama and his brilliant aides prolly won't think of that.

IMHO, we need to completely stop ALL illegal immigration first, then deal with the ones that are here.
