I have no idea what Obama's plan is, and I sure as shite did not watch a speech. Reform needs to happen in some capacity. Many of the illegals do a hell of a lot more for our economy than our ignorant entitlement class that look down on their nose at them.
Basically, starting in the spring you can register with the gov't if you've been in the country for at least 5 years. You will be required to pay taxes. You don't become a citizen but you are allowed to stay and not be deported.
Better put:
quote:
Obama laid out the changes he is making to immigration laws without the consent of Congress. A key element of his plan is to instruct immigration authorities to prioritize expulsion action against gang members, felons and suspected terrorists rather than law-abiding undocumented parents of U.S. citizens and residents and others.
The changes will offer those who qualify the chance to stay temporarily in the country for three years, as long as they pass background checks and pay back taxes. But they will not be offered a path to eventual citizenship or be eligible for federal benefits or health care programs. And, in theory, the measures could be reversed by a future president.

In all honestly, his plan isn't bad at all. The outrage is partially how he did it, and partially "RAGE democrats liberalz RAGE" blind hatred.
He should have tried to get the republicans to distance themselves from their neo-con supporters and passed this in Congress. Bribing them with the idea of being known as the Congress that regained republican support from some in the minority community might have helped do the trick.

I see this as the biggest problem. Millions of illegals are paid in cash. They perform the work of employees, so they can't be hired as 1099able contractors by law.
How do you stop the under-the-table cash flows?
