As chief executive of a country emerging from a brutal recession, President Barack Obama faces a host of pressing issues. But two long-term problems have morphed into crises and have come to a head lately — immigration and joblessness. What’s not always so obvious is how closely linked the two issues have become.
In a July 1 speech, the President took the immigration problem by the horns, calling the much maligned Arizona immigration law “ill conceived,” and he reminded Americans that they live in a country of immigrants.
Polls, however reveal that a majority of Americans are on the other side of the President and support the bill, which requires police to question the immigration status of people they stop or arrest for other reasons.

But we are a country of LEGAL immigrants. My grand parents came here LEGALLY. Of course since I am of Native American decent (on my father’s side) as far as I’m concerned you are ALL illegal so get out!
