This country was built by immigrants, it will continue to attract and need immigrants. Some people think there are enough people here now -- people have been saying this since the 1700s and it still is not true. They are needed to make up for our aging population and low birthrate. Immigrants often are entrepreneurs, creating jobs. We must help them become Americans and not just people who live here and think of themselves as visitors. When immigrants succeed here, the whole country benefits.

Immigration Reform this year!
President Obama announced today at a Cinco de Mayo event that he wants to begin work on immigration reform this year. He wants Democrats and Republicans to work together on it.
We must hope it is more bipartisan than health care ended up being.
