 Obama's Case for the Paperless Americans

  No, I am not a big fan of Obama. But, I do think he at times makes very persuasive arguments. Take this, on immigration:
   "Right now, our immigration system has no credible way of dealing with 11 million men and women who are in this country illegally, and, yes, they broke the rules. They didn't wait their turn. They shouldn't be let off easy. They shouldn't be allowed to game the system. But, a vast majority of these individuals aren't looking for trouble. They're just looking to provide for their families."
   Obama goes on to say the current legislation is not a cakewalk. He notes they have to pass background checks, learn English, pay taxes, pay a penalty, and go to the back of the line. He notes that the vast majority of them can't even apply for citizenship for 13 years.
