Ummm, Americans didn't necessarily defeat anything, it was the senate and congress who defeated the proposal. So if you didn't even know that, how can you comment on this subject matter? If we put the immigration reform to an actual majority vote of the U.S. population, then maybe we could get a more accurate decision on what American citizens actually think about immigration reform.

Who would know better about immigration than a man who was elected president even though he is an illegal-alien.

We need to correctly identify every undocumented person living in the U.S. This could be done by opening the closed military bases in each state and putting U.S. citizens to work administratively. If the undocumented person is working, issue a valid temporary SSN and require a notification that this position is open for a U.S. citizen to have this job in 3 months, if no takers, the temp person may remain, but they must pay a fine and go to the end of the line for getting a permanent work visa. If the undocumented person is not working, or is not a dependent of a working spouse or has a criminal history, deport them. Make it easy for employers to identify people who are not authorized to work in the U.S., so they don't get hired! And finally, stop allowing undocumented foreigners from enrolling in colleges – graduates cannot work in the U.S., the education cannot be used to help our economy legally.

Try looking into some of the plans that the white supremacy groups have for the U.S. The playing field is as level as you can get it when it comes to silly extremist ideas like plan de aztlan.

These people are racist separatists who openly seek to carry out the displacement and genocide of United States citizens.

These people see the generosity of the United States as weakness.

I think people are misunderstanding the concept of a Comprehensive Immigration Reform. The NumbersUSA and FAIR folk are busy in these commentaries trying to put into the minds of the people that its a giant amnesty. But in reality it isn't. Yes, it is a path to citizenship, but only if certain requirements are met (for example a hefty fine, learn English, pay taxes …etc). Immigration Reform can take many forms. We can deport, punish, incarcerate and so on but unfortunately to deport or incarcerate 12-20 million people is not COMPREHENSIVE. Therefore there must be a Comprehensive Reform done to our immigration system. Secure our borders is a must, but what to do with the 12 million that that are already here and already have our jobs? well they already leech of our system so might as well start sucking back the blood they sucked from us. Have them pay a fine, have them pay their taxes, have them learn English and be productive, contributing members of society. It makes sense to me. its seems pretty comprehensive to me…

Pres. Obama meets today (6/25) with a bi-partisan group from Congress to "jump-start" plans to pass a giant amnesty for 12-20 million illegal aliens and their extended families, another 48-80 million.

Why, for heaven's sake, would Obama and Congress want to makes things even worse on America's 14 million unemployed (which is actually much larger including those whose benefits ran out, etc.)?

Call the White House today!

Those who come here illegally, steal our IDs and ignore our laws have already demonstrated they lack the honesty and decency to ever become American citizens.

a.) Enforce the existing immigration laws.
b.) Secure the border.
c.) Don't hire illegal aliens.
d.) No anchor babies.
e.) Deportation through attrition.

Davidson say…..The clear majority of Americans (approaching two-thirds, I believe, according to the Center for American Progress) now supports comprehensive immigration

BS !! And the Center for American Progress believes in amnesty so of course their numbers would be for the illegals. Most polls show about 70% of Americans DO NOT SUPPORT AMNESTY. Why should people who have no regard for our laws be granted citizenship? If that happens then citizenship becomes a joke. Enforce the immigration laws and deport those who flaunt our laws. Obama is going to have a huge problem when he starts the amnesty push again. Americans defeated it in 2007 and will do so again.

I do not think that a reform to the Immigration Law would be an “amnesty”. In an amnesty all illegal would get legal documents; but a comprenhensive immigration reforrm would have certain requirements people would have to meet. An immigration reform will be of benefit not only for undocumented people but for the country as well. As of today, the government does not have knowledge of who all these people are, where they are and if they have commited a crime or not because many of them do not even have documents from their own countries. All those who opose an immigration reform do not realize that it would be impossible to deport each and everyone of these hardworking people, who in many cases pay their taxes (most of them do not receive benefits because the do not qualify due to their illegal status, so no, they are not a burden for the society). With a reform, more people who would qualify will pay taxes; they will keep working as hard as they are doing today and even more because they are grateful of the opportunities they have here for a better and more dignifying life than in their own countries; the country won't loose bright minds as of those young people who have been raised end educated in this country, this is their country, the only one they know, they love it and they are loyal to it.
So it is time already to have an immigration reform!
