"Barack Obama's Plan
"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.
"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.
"Remove Incentives to Enter Illegally. Obama will remove incentives to
enter the country illegally by cracking down on employers who hire
undocumented immigrants.
"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.
"Work with Mexico. Obama believes we need to do more to promote economic
development in Mexico to decrease illegal immigration.
"Obama 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.

If Obama is after change this is not it. This is the same plan
supported by President Bush and it is probably his greatest failure.
