Obama's Silence On Immigration Reform Is Deafening

CaribWorldNews, NEW YORK, NY, Fri. Mar. 6, 2009: Immigrant voters who handed their vote to President Barack Obama last November based on his promise of immigration reform are still waiting for the President to even utter one word on this issue.

Since taking office, Obama has buzzed around and spoken on more issues that fall further below the radar than immigration reform.

Granted that Obama is caught up with the economic woes of the U.S., but not a single word in his 6,134 speech to congress recently was even uttered on immigration.

Appalling for many immigrant advocates especially since Obama is missing the obvious major economic boost immigration reform could bring to the coffers of the U.S.

Based on the much-touted earned legalization plan that has been pushed around since 2006, reform that allows undocumented migrants living in the U.S. to pay a fine, pay back taxes and be put on a path to earned legalization could actually benefit Uncle Sam more than it costs them.
