Obama Team Weighs What to Take On in First Months
Security and Citizenship: "We cannot deport 12 million people. Instead, we'll require them to pay a fine, learn English and go to the back of the line." -- September 12, Washington
As a senator, Mr. Obama supported comprehensive immigration overhaul, and in the campaign he pledged to enhance border security and provide a path to citizenship for millions in the country illegally. And while he said he favored a guest worker program, he also advocated tougher penalties for employing [illegal aliens].
But Mr. Obama's proposals are likely to encounter resistance from opponents who contend that they amount to amnesty — an argument that helped jettison a bill in Congress. And with the economy shedding jobs, opponents will also argue that immigrants are taking jobs from citizens. But experts say Mr. Obama will face pressure to act from the many Hispanic voters who supported his candidacy in part because of his stance on immigration.
