Throughout Obama's campaign he promised immigrant reform would be a priority. However, this has been sidelined because of the health care bill. But now this issue is coming up again; likely because Obama needs improved public relations in order to get his agenda passed. The newest proposal involves legalizing 11 million immigrants. This would increase consumption, raise wages, create new jobs, and generate more taxes. All of these things would also help the economy and improve President Obama's image even more. I am not sure I agree with legalizing this many immigrants but I am pretty sure that it may lead to Obama's approval by many minorities in out nation.
