I think Obama's concerns about addressing the illegals are right on target. All though I'm not sure about the health care part of it, but I won't dismiss it out of hand until I know more about plan.
Roscoe your thread/post would suggest that there should be NO illegals, EVER, allowed legal status under ANY conditions. I think your concern is that the threshold to obtain legal status will be to low? A legitimate concern I share.
Illegals, foreigners, (not just Mexicans as one might assume) should be allowed to have their case heard in court. Now lets see what can be done to give them an expidited hearing, before the hangin'.
Depending on that outcome they may be allowed to apply for US Citizenship, within the proper legal frame work. Like those foreigners serving in the Armed Forces, for instance.
BUT, as Obama says, lets get on with dealing with the illegal's issue once and for all. It's been shrouded in mystery and not been dealt with properly for decades, by both parties. Time for "change", you might say...
