Obama's Administration: Yes to Amnesty!
360 Degrees has learned that the DHS isn't expected to make their goal on the Border Fence. Worse yet, very few miles of the promised double-layered fence has been built. Meanwhile, Conservative organizations are eager to mobilize an additional 200,000 citizens who are demanding our borders and land are secured.
Summary:
Obama's record is short and liberal. The National Journal recently tabulated the rankings for all U.S. representatives and senators based on their votes for the last 27 years and found that Sen. Obama went from being the 10th-most-liberal senator in 2006 to the most-liberal senator in 2007. Fox News
His immigration and amnesty track record proves the reports findings. Sen. Obama supports amnesty, the McCain-Kennedy Comprehensive Immigration (Amnesty) Reform, and wants to give welfare and Medicaid to illegal aliens.
Amnesty - Supports Pathway to Citizenship
- Q: Under an Obama administration, what rights do immigrants have if they're working without proper authorization come January 2009?
- A: If they are illegal, then they should not be able to work in this country. That is part of the principle of comprehensive reform, which we're going to crack down on employers who are hiring them and taking advantage of them. You want to give them a pathway, so that they can earn citizenship, earn a legal status, start learning English, pay a significant fine, and go to the back of the line. But they can then stay here and they can have the ability to enforce a minimum wage that they're paid, make sure the worker safety laws are available, make sure that they can join a union.

Barack Obama's Plan
1)Create Secure Borders: Obama wants to preserve the integrity of our borders. He supports additional personnel, infrastructure and technology on the border and at our ports of entry.
2)Improve Our Immigration System: Obama believes we must fix the dysfunctional immigration bureaucracy and increase the number of legal immigrants to keep families together and meet the demand for jobs that employers cannot fill.
3)Remove Incentives to Enter Illegally: Obama will remove incentives to enter the country illegally by cracking down on employers who hire undocumented immigrants.
4)Bring People Out of the Shadows: Obama supports a system that allows undocumented immigrants who are in good standing to pay a fine, learn English, and go to the back of the line for the opportunity to become citizens.
5) Work with Mexico: Obama believes we need to do more to promote economic development in Mexico to decrease illegal immigration.
6) Barack Obama's Record
- Crack Down on Employers: Obama championed a proposal to create a system so employers can verify that their employees are legally eligible to work in the U.S.
- Fix the Bureaucracy: Obama joined Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) to introduce the Citizenship Promotion Act to ensure that immigration application fees are both reasonable and fair. Obama also introduced legislation that passed the Senate to improve the speed and accuracy of FBI background checks.
- Respect Families: Obama introduced amendments to put greater emphasis on keeping immigrant families together.

Along with the media, many in Congress and many citizens think the NAFTA superhighway and the NAU are merely myth - designed to frighten. However the reality that isn't being report is that our sovereignty and security are being undermined - moving us closer to a North American Union. We urge you to take action opposing the North American Framework.
Summary:
There is a strong movement underway to create a new North American framework that links the U.S., Mexico and Canada in ways that are a direct threat to the sovereignty of the United States. The centerpiece of current efforts is the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) -- a trilateral arrangement made without Congressional approval to facilitate economic, legal and political integration in this new North American framework.
