I didn’t read the whole letter Obama wrote. I just read the example in the excerpt above. But if you are right and the letter goes through many levels of review and checking, then it seems more than one person missed the noun verb agreement.

Having been on a law review in the 1960's, I can say there is a lot of difference between an article that's very heavily edited and reviewed, often to the point where it is hard to say who the real author is, and a letter that is not too heavily reviewed and mostly the sole work of its writer. However, it's rather remarkable that this ungrammatical piece of drivel was ever published without the grammatical errors being corrected. Looks like the Illegal did his own editing and nobody wanted to cross him by making the necessary corrections.
