Obama backs plan to legalize illegals -- Senators' plan 'promising'
    President Obama gave a thumbs up Thursday to the outline of a plan to legalize illegal [aliens] and create a flow of low-skilled foreign workers for the future, saying the immigration bill being worked on by a Republican and a Democrat is "promising."
    In their broad blueprint, Sens. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, and Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, call for illegal [aliens] to be put on a path to citizenship, offer green cards to keep high-skilled foreign university graduates and would create a temporary program for low-skilled workers, with some also getting the chance to become citizens. [...]
  The supporters of the 2007 effort concluded that Americans didn't trust the government to secure the borders and enforce the laws, even as they were offering legalization, particularly since illegal immigration has only grown since a 1986 amnesty.
    To combat that impression, Mr. Graham and Mr. Schumer said they'll include new enforcement at both the border and in the country's interior.

American Patrol Report Comment
The 1986 IRCA promised to secure the border. It wasn't done. The Secure Fence Act of 2006 was passed, but not implemented. The border remains open and we are not told the truth. The government cannot be trusted. The border must be proven to be secure before any discussion of immigration reform can even begin.
